I tried something this weekend that made me want to ask people opinion.

I usually ride with a pretty large stance. Not all the way out, but I ride on a 141 premier.

My knees have been hurting, so I thought Id move my bindings in a little closer to see if that helped. I dont know if it helped my knees, but one thing I notices was that the boards rocker was much more noticable. I could even (on dry ground) rock up and balance on the tail, then jump to the nose.

while riding, the board seemed quite a bit snappier. olies would snap off the water and my normal progressive edge had this extra pop off the top of hte wake.

but, riding this way made the board even more squirly than it normally is, and landings were more difficult, but htat could have been me needing to get used to the new stance.

anyone ever experiment with this. Im going to keep trying riding like this. I liked the snap, and spins seemed more natural, butim curious to get others opinions.
