Binding position

OK, I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but should both bindings face slightly outward of center at the same angle?? I have been at this over a year, can switch and w2w, and up to recently have had no instruction or watched any videos. Now that I have found this site (and others) when I watch any of the instructional videos. it almost looks like the riders trailing leg is almost at the same angle facing forward as the front.

It feels like I should have found this out over a year ago, but it's driving me nuts not knowing if my bindings are set right or not.

if you jump up as high as you can and look at the way you land, that will probably be your perfect riding stance

I searched the net when first starting and found several sites that said this...

When first starting, duck out your leading foot - but put your trailing foot at 0 degrees. They also cautioned not to get used to this though. You should only use this stance in the very beginning. Check the article at http://www.wakeworld.com/articles/2003/wfd.asp

And like colefooter says, when you start to switch, they really need to be at the same angle.

I would have to say, start with them ducked too.. that way you don't have to get use to them again when you have to change them to go to switch

i tried angling both my feet the same and when i was riding switch it felt really bad on my knee, so i angled my back foot (when riding regular) a little bit less and it was a lot more comfortable both ways.

I use the same setup as on my snowboard, but to a smaller degree.

If you're used to something, just go with it. I ride switch on a snowboard and am comfortable that way, so im comfortable on a wakeboard that way.
