Sultan Guy Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 A question for you experienced carvers... So today I was out riding a Prior 174 4WD board that I just picked up used and was adjusting my stance angles a few times. Can you go to too high of an angle on your front foot with a wider type board like this? Board waist is 21.5 and I was trying 45-55 on my front foot. Higher angles seemed to make it harder to get the board up on edge. Is it generally better to keep your front foot at the lowest angle that avoids bootout in order to gain leverage? I left my back foot about 40 degrees with a 18.5"-19.5" stance width. Mondo size 28. I want to get to riding at some higher angles so I can get on skinnier boards.

BlueB Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Rear foot set for 0 overhang, forward foot with splay that's comfortable for you. If you are not carving very low, but more fooling around (bumps, slush, etc), you could flatten the angles a bit more, or just flaten the rear foot (increase the spaly).
