So, how do these guys swing the 50/20 angles without boot out? Even with my 25 mp feet, I cant go less then 35-40* on the rear foot without overhang on their #2. Do they have tiny Geisha feet?

Bacon will get you through times of no money better then money will get you through times of no bacon.

Galen, I would think just reduce your current boot angles until you are in danger of over-hang. Oh, and yoodle allot
Curious how you like it!! Keep working on the accent!

Yes, I bought a #2 on a whim. They are not so wide that 20* in the rear binding wont give you a ton of overhang, though. I'd Really like to see a pic of them on the board with boots. The width at the rear binding is about 23.5cm.

sorry I missed that you had one of these boards!
Where do they say 20deg? I though it was closer to 35sh rear and 55 front but what do I know.

isn't there a synopsis of the pureboading style somewhere. Carvers almanac has alot on EC, but not on 'pureboarding'.
All this EC stuff is exhausting.

Yeah, that's where I got the 20/50 from.
"The PureBoarding style uses a surf stance, with binding angles of around 55°/20° on a wide board. The stance has a few advantages:
It allows a more comfortable upright stance.
The movements of the knees along the heel-toe direction are more efficient and take less effort.
Toe side turns are easier, because you get more leverage and it's easy to drop your knees straight down into the turn
It's easier to compress low onto the board without exerting twisting pressure on your knees.
It allows for a more rotated style. "
