1. 24.5 in
2. 5 10ish
3. 143 cm

However, because of different stance angles, these measurements could be misleading. The most consistent measurement of stance is to measure from one insert to another, ie. inside insert of back foot to outside insert of front foot. THis way different stance angles dont skew things.

Shouldn't you measure it from the toes to the toes instead of the heels because everyone will just have the same stance if they are all the way out, but measuring the level of duckedness seems to make more sense

Me
1. 22"
2. 5'-10"
3. 136cm

Wife
1. 22"
2. 5'-7"
3. 136cm

Older son (9)
1. 17"
2. 4'-5"
3. 122cm

Younger son (6.5)
1. 17"
2. 3'-11"
3. 122cm

Things are probably going to change going into this next season. My wife and I have been sharing the 136 LF Witness board. My boys have shared a 122 Hydroslide 180. I'm getting a 143 LF Lyman and the boys got a new 124 LF Nemesis, so our stances may change a little, along with our board lengths, with the exception of my wife.

When you duck your stance the more out your toes are the more in your heals are, either way your getting a skewed result. proper measurement should be to the exact center of the center of the boot.

the most exact would be to measure the distance from between the toes AND between the heels and make a trapezoid and then something else that a math wiz would know how to do
