I just mounted my new pair of Watsons and the question hit me. How do others set there bindings? I know its all personal preference. I tend to set mine with the toes pointed out slightly. Share how you set yours and if you have a picture, post it up.

I keep mine pretty ducked out as well. Most important thing to me is that they're even.

Back foot 0 degrees, front is pointed out a bit. Sort of like ollie position on a skateboard.

I've been trying to work on my switch side lately and still haven't bothered to adjust them. I only remember when I just pull up out of the water and notice I forgot again. Laughing

Slightly ducked out evenly, and spread as far as possible.

My wife recently tried a few different settings and found she was able to ride more comfortably once she got them set up right for her.

Experiment. It cant hurt. Try a little more ducked out, or closer together etc...

Supposedly, if you jump off a bench/bed/couch, how you land is approximately how your bindings should be set up.

I love the baseplates on my Slingshot boots. You just flip a lever, start to duck the binding flip the lever back down and then just duck till it locks in. No worry about them not being ducked evenly.

I have mine pretty much at 0 degrees. Riding duckfooted seems unnatural and kills my right ankle Sad .

eric-holmes, Man those toes look like ET's Laughing I keep mine kind of ducked out. I would say If you feel any preasure on your knees when your riding adjust untill your knee's feel no twisting or preasure on them.
