Binding stance?

Hi, just a question about how most of you setup your bindings on your boards. right now i have mine kind of both aimed a little bit forward on the board. Whenever i ride my back leg always gets real sore from leaning on it and im thinking that it may have something to do with the binding setup. How do you guys like to ride with yours and how does changing the angles affect the feel of the board. I searched and didnt find what i wanted.

Thanks for helping.

I always ride with both feet angled out evenly. Try this: Put your feet in your bindings with your bindings attached to the board somewhere on land. Move around a bit, leaning over your edges, nose, tail, etc. Adjust your bindings and do it again. You should be able to find the setup where you are most comfortable. If your bindings aren't angled properly, your legs will get sore.

Ok so i am going out today. I will try it with the bindings both angled out, like a snowboard setup. I started that way but it seemed like it was making it harder because the boat is pulling you forward and you would be twisted the whole time so i thought that that would make me soar. I will just have to mess around with it today and hopefully find the way i like it and more comfortable.
