Binding Placement Help?

MonsterOutback · Posted: Jul 02, 2003 9:01 pm Post subject: Binding Placement Help?

My bindings are still in the same settings that they were in when I bought my board. The thing is I have gotten a lot better. My board is set up so that the front foot is angled slightly(30 degrees) so one's toes are facing more towards the boat. Also how far appart should bindings be? Should they get closer together or father appart as I get better? Should I change my setup so both feet are at the same angle (perpendicular to the direction of the board)?

A trick I saw to get a good angle thats right for you is to jump as high as you can and when you land, place your bindings at the same angle as the way your feet landed... Or just try some stuff... I know most people ride duck footed with the back binding slightly less angled than the front binding...

if you make your binding stance wider you will be more stable on landing, and it also helps spin easier
