That piece is built into my boots. I have a cam lock that lets me freeze my ankle at most any angle. I usually have it near max forward lean, so I don't think that is it.

I did some more research, and 20" stance is about right for someone my height, though I have a longer torso and shorter legs than average.

This board is wide enough that I have no problem with toe/heel drag even with the 90 degree rear foot angle. I may try some more front and rear stance angle, but it is about where I like to ride a skateboard. Since I only carve in the forward direction, maybe some clockwise rotation of both feet is in order.

Matt reaffirmed what I was thinking, move forward a 1/2- whole set of holes but not on powder days. That may be another part of it. This is the first spring conditions riding I think I have ever done on this board. I used to be a powder day purist. The Eldo rules in the fresh, the more the better.

Guess I need to find an Uber cheap day somewhere and just go out and do some testing on a nice short intermediate lift on the same run over and over and see if I can cure it as well as try some different stance angles/layouts.

I spend hours tuning my car, but have not spent that kind of time adjusting my board.
