There is disclosed a snowboard binding system for a soft style snowboard boot. The snowboard binding system includes a base plate mounted to the snowboard and a toe strap unit, a heel loop, and a highback mounted to the base plate. Mounted to the heel loop is a secondary strap device which wraps around the back of the boot. Wrapping over the top of the boot is the ankle strap unit which is mounted to the secondary strap device. The secondary strap device and ankle strap have a plurality of adjustment holes for selective adjustment of the binding for greater support or for more flexibility. The secondary strap device works in conjunction with the ankle strap to provide better heel hold to the snowboard, thereby resulting in enhanced snowboard performance. The secondary strap device also reduces the pressure exerted across the top of the boot from the ankle strap resulting in better comfort.
