Would riding with the bindings all the way out really make a difference? I am 6'1-6'2 206 and ride at about 8 degrees duck and one hole from all the way out. I just started going w2w and havent done much else yet. Does riding all the way out help you on landings at all?

Jump up high when you're not on a board and when you land, that is the natural position that your feet take. I duck about 20 degrees out. It keeps the pain out of my feet and feels natural. I'm also 1 hole from the end. Not sure if that's too much duck or not.

20 degrees ? no way dude.

I ride all the way out with 18 degrees of duck on both feet. <BR> <BR>I keep the same stance on my snowboard and wakeboard.

Randy has a great suggestion. Jump off the table onto the floor. Figure out where it feels comfortable to land. If you're 6', all the way out should be right.

Remember kids, ride wide cuz it's the cool thing to do...

theoretically, a wider stance will give you more control, but its all about preference

I stay a hair wider than shoulder width and ducked out 16-18 degrees. I used the jumping technique to get a good starting point and then fine adjusted my stance while riding. I actually ride back leg at 16 and front leg at 18 while riding goofy naturally.
