Most new boarders tend to leave the board the way they get it set up at home or at a shop. This is a normal thing and not necessarily wrong to do. Most new boarders should not take this advice and stick to using only a positive angle on the front foot. A duck stance will cause beginners to remain too much on their heel edge instead of learning toe edge as well. For intermediate or advanced riders, in my opinion, as well as most CASI certified snowboarding instructors, your board will discover much better performance out of your board if you duck out your feet. Ducking your feet means that your bindings point outwards to your nose and tail. So in stead of your feet being straight like this (___|_____|___) or (___\_____|___) they look more like this (___\_____/___). This will allow for better edge control and balance when you're riding.

Thanks a lot Mike! I'm sure if I was a snowboarder I would probably go through this dilemma lots, like you did when you first started probably. Your blogs are really detailed, as if someone was doing word for word as you said, it's crazy. But if I do end up starting to snowboard, I'll follow all your tips! You're doing great on all the blogs Mike, keep it up!!!
