What stance do you use?

Natural footed, 21 front,6 back, centred (same as Terje) .  I can’t believe no one else has a forward stance, don’t you like carving? (although I am too old for the park and just cruise down the sides while my kids try and knacker themselves on the rails).

15, -15 and 24.5” wide…. tried a few different setups and this felt the best so i’ve stuck with it for ages.

Not sure on the width but centred and 15 and -15 on a 159 banana, I ride switch a lot and it works for me.  My old directional was 15 and 0 and switch was real weird.

Just checked my stance it’s actually 22.5 inches. And I set my stance back 0.5 inch. Don’t know if this much will help in pow, but doesn’t hurt to try :D

Is that cranked back out to where ya had it before, Dan????

Whoops didn’t see your reply Mizu…

I actually reduced my stance back down to 23 inch haha. It was more comfortable on my weak knee with the narrower stance, plus there’s lots more pop in the board!
