Stance - Regular or Goofy

Stance - Width and Angles

Width: Either get tech with a tape measure, or just eyeball it to find out what looks and feels best. You may need to experiment to find the stance that works best for your style of riding. If you have no idea how wide/narrow of a stance to ride, try going slightly wider than shoulder width and modify from there.

Angles: Just like your stance width, the angles of your bindings are all about personal preference and comfort. If you aren't sure, try the angles below and modify from there.

Remember, your stance is something that you can set up in 5 minutes but it may take you 5 years to perfect. There is no right or wrong, so experiment with it and find what works best for you.

Tip: When setting up your board make sure the ratchets are facing the tip and tail. Don't put your bindings on backwards.

Angles: Just like your stance width, the angles of your bindings are all about personal preference and comfort. If you aren't sure, try the angles below and modify from there.
