One of the easiest ways that we, as instructors, can improve your riding is by making sure that your equipment is set up correctly. So let's make that the focus of our lesson. One of the beauties of snowboarding is that it is individual. We aren't bound by norms or stereotypes and no two riders have the same style. We are free to set up our boards however we want.
Carvers ride with steep binding angles on narrow boards.
And, of course, there is an infinite amount of options between these two extremes. While we have a wide range of adjustments available to us, let's start with a few tricks that may help us ride to our fullest potential. Angles are also determined by the width of the board. A board will perform best when your toes are directly over the toe edge of the board and your heel is directly over the heel edge. Too far towards the center of the board and you won't have enough leverage to get the board angle that you need.
