Stance Position
STANCE WIDTH

WIDE STANCE
+ more stability in landings
+ can hold more power
– Increased inner side knee injury risk with overwide stance
NARROW STANCE
+ greater maneuverability
+ less resistance in rotations
– Taller people need a wider stance than shorter people. To find your stance width, jump forward and land in a comfortable squad position
PAD POSITION

CENTERED PADS
+ more stability in landings (weight lands through centre of board)
– Harder to edge heelside with small feet
CLOSER TO HEELSIDE
+ easier to edge on heels for upwind and jumping
– Less stability in landings (weight lands off centre)
– Harder to edge toeside
– If you suffer pain in shins; move position towards heels for easier edging
FOOT ANGLE

DUCK FOOTED (wide angle)
+ more maneuverbility in various riding styles (E.g. carving and toeside)
– Increased inner side knee injury risk with over ducked stance
PARALLEL STANCE
+ greater stability in landings
+ less resistance in rotations
– If suffering pain at the inside of knee; move angle closer to parallel. Look for your natural foot angle when you squat
