Hi my name is Ed I have started Wakeboarding 3 weeks ago at a cable park near me In Munich Germany. I have just bought a 2nd hand Hyperlite Vero 143 with powerboot bindings. <BR>I ride regular , but I am trying to learn how to ride goofy as well and also my first attempts @ <BR>180's..mostly I faceplant ! <BR> <BR>anyway my Question is this <BR>There seem to be endless possibilities for positioning these bindings on the board... <BR> <BR>Where do I start ? <BR> <BR>I guess I will end up trial and error till I find a comfortable riding position , but some initial <BR>sound advice would be greatly appreciated <BR> <BR>Best regards <BR>Ed (a newcomer to wakeboarding in Munich)

Ed, lots of threads on this one. Everyone's stance is different, so only use this as a rule of thumb - not a defacto standard. <BR> <BR> 1. Stance about shoulder width apart <BR> 2. In your home, jump up with your eyes <BR> closed and notice how your feet are <BR> positioned when you land on the floor. <BR> 3. Set your bindings to be similar to the <BR> stance you landed barefoot. <BR> 4. Make adjustments as needed.
