What angles do you ride on your soft boot board?

Even though I do plate bindings at +65/+60 or so on carving boards, when I switch to soft boots and freestyle boards I'm usually around +15/-3. It's like two different sports. Don't try to adjust the angles to fit the board, fit the board to your feet. Size the board so your rear foot can be at low angles with just enough overhang so you can roll the board from edge to edge with little effort. Too little overhang and getting it on edge takes too much effort. Try as you might, you won't be laying the board over as far as with hard boots on a carving board, so if you've got 50 - 60 degrees of clearance from the board edge to you boot toe and heel, you'll be surfin' just fine.

In my "prealpine days" I was always forward on both feet, up to 25/15 or so.

But now in my "postalpine days" on the 10%-20% of the time I use soft boots,

I have switched to DUCKFOOT stance, say 15/-15. Afterall, why have a softboot board if you are not going to go switch 50% of the time?

And I love my 3 pair of Flow bindings with the Burton ratchets I riveted on.
