Samurai le Blanc

I recently got a pair of size 10 (EU) driver x boots for soft carving, but unfortunately when I lean forward, the heel of my rear foot lifts up, rubbing against the back of the boot. But the worst part is when I lean backward: the calf presses against the spoiler and the foot is pushed forward, to the point where the big toe hits against the front of the boot and after a while, it hurts a lot. To solve the problem of the lifting heel, I thought about using J-bars, what do you think? Could it work? Are there better solutions? As for the toe problem, I have no idea how to solve it, any advice is welcome. Thank you very much

Yes please, much appriciated

I'm finalizing the setup of the X Carve 159, but I would need some advice from the experts. I plan to use the board for carving with soft boots. I got Virus plates to raise the bindings. For boots, I use size 10 (US) Driver X. I am 180 cm tall and weigh 68 kg. I'm inclined to get the Flow NX2 Carbon bindings; do you think it's a good solution? Is there something better? What size do you recommend, M or L? I've read other topics on the subject, but they are from a few years ago. Thanks

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I wear size 9.5 US boots, so it should work slightly better for me. Here in the Alps, we have very steep slopes and very hard/icy snow, so it will be a challenge. But, as the saying goes, calm seas do not make skilled sailors.

What about plates to rise the binding heights?

I would like to buy a Kessler X Carve, but I'm not sure about the length. Until now, I've been using a Jones 9000 for carving, but I want to push myself a bit further. Since I keep a board until it can't handle it anymore, I'm looking for something that allows me to grow technically. I am 180cm tall, weigh 66kg, and wear size 43 boots. I am very athletic and have been snowboarding for about 20 years. I'm torn between the X Carver 159 and the 164. I have always used, and want to continue using, soft boots. Regarding the slopes, I ride in a place where the snow is often very hard; perhaps a few extra centimeters of edge could be useful. Thank you, I look forward to your advice
