  2. (Seeking hardboot advice) board waist too small?

    Size 11 and I ride 18 cm boards a lot but starting to enjoy turns on some slightly wider boards too. 

    65/67 on my Burners. After that 60 feels almost sideways. If you cannot balance well I would suggest that stance width or canting may be more of the issue than stance angles but I'm old school so what do I know. 

     

    Sorry typo... Mine are set to 70° on both (edit has been made). I'll try playing around with canting and my stance a little. Thank you for the suggestion!

    I am going into the second season of hardbooting (I love it and want to keep it up!) I wear a size M32 (13us) and the boards I have ridden on have had a waist of 19-20. I have to keep both bindings at 70° (as far forward as TD1's will allow) to keep everything contained within the edges of the board. 

    I am curious if this is hindering my riding? It's not the most comfortable either so naturally my balance feels odd too.  

    I'm currently not in a position to get a wider board, so I am making due with what I have available. But in the future I plan on getting a wider one, any thoughts on what waist size would work best? I was thinking 22-23, but I'm not sure (I'll do more research into it when I get closer to buying, but for now advice would be helpful). 

    Any input is appreciated, thank you!
