Comment on SNOWBOARD STANCE by David Z

nah you need to have some amount of overhang in order to properly pressure the edges and initiate turns/etc. Unless your feet are literally impeding your ability to ride, you should be OK. You could widen the stance a tiny bit, or widen the angles a bit if it is a minor problem. But it’s unlikely that you’re dragging a trench in the snow with your toes unless you’re laying the sickest, deepest carves, ever (in which case you probably wouldn’t be asking this question).

At 11.5 you’re nudging in to “wide” board territory but it is by no means an absolute necessity I know people who wear 12 and ride regular width boards and my size 11s are OK even on relatively narrow (249mm waist) boards for most purposes.

@anonymous: try duckstance
@avid: it’s all about what feels right. Change your stance, try it, if it feels better keep it if not go back to your old stance. There is no right or wrong here…just what feels better.

Under! It says to keep it under 21 degrees. It was a bit confusing sequence of words…fixed now, hope it’s clearer…

You recommend for fwd stance +21, +6 or +30, +15 setting and write that angle difference must be at least 21.

Concerning Duck stance there is also wrong information.

Wow this looks like the suit that I have been waiting for! Looks more comfy than my winter wetsuit for sure.

Thanks for the info. I just tried to get Rip Curl to replace the tape on my F-Bomb. It had a lifetime guarantee on stiching and all they would do is offer me an upgrade,said they couldn’t repair it. I reluctantly said OK if I can keep the old one,she said no, they will make thongs out of the old one. I said no,it is such a waste. I would have paid for the upgrade if she said i could keep it. Never again RipCurl

Good read. I agree. But I think there’s something even worse about it. It is too pornographic. It is simply – too visual. It smoothes the edges out too much. It works just too well as a marketing tool for selling stuff. jackets. trousers. simply put, I think it destroys the essence of what counter-culture like snowboarding should be.
I love low budget movies way more; authentic, straight from the culture itself.
