OK-
So I have two new metal boards both with decambered nose and variable SCR. This will be my first season with these features. Have other carvers found the need to change any specifics on their setup to work with these features? Weight forward? Different lift on front foot?

I am assuming that same rules apply for angles and stance width.

Or...is it all technique?

This winter is going to be FUN learning how to make these things go!

Your stance should change as you see fit, if at all. I went from a slight rear boot heel lift, flat front foot, to a slight front boot toe lift, flat back foot to keep a bit more weight on the tail. I could have probably just moved my bindings back a touch to get the same weight shift.

For riding, I have found:

Stay centered you do not need to shift your weight as much on these designs.

Keep some weight on the tail coming out of turns. It will keep it from releasing.

Do not over presure the nose initiating turns. These boards do not need it.
