Question on bindings

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding the space that I should have between the bindings. Is there a rule or an specific way of having them?

Thank you

not really, you can't have them too close, or too far away because there's only a couple sets of holes. just set them whatever feels comfortable.

A way to get a generally good idea is to jump up in the air. When you land, don't move your feet. Have someone measure the distance in between them, and set your bindings as close to that measurement as you can. That's also a good rule of thumb for how far to turn your bindings out from 0-degrees. I would also recommend starting with each foot the same distance from the tip and tail, and each foot and the same degree of turn. Some people recommend starting further back on the board with your feet at different angles if you are just learning, but I found that once I got better and wanted to switch my stance a little, it took a fair amount of time for me to get used to the new stance. Up to you though.

As long as it's comfortable for you it should be good, generally it's about shoulder width apart.

What timmy said. Shoulder width slightly duck foot (mirror image of eachother, make riding switch as easy as possible) works for almost everyone.

The more you ride, the less you screw with boot position. It only really seems to make a difference as a beginner.

When I got a new board this year, I just bolted the boots down in a similar position as my old board, and I haven't touched them since.
