Reply To: 8ft Longboard foot placement

The first is the survival stance, beginners and people getting used to small boards tend to be here
(It does, however, have it’s uses for barrel riding)

The second is an ideal for trimming (and ideal for the Foundational Stance)

The third is where you want to be for carving!

If you’re in the second stance and you feel like you’re stalling it is either because your hips are not forward (weight is not in front foot)
OR because you’re unable to get your weight in your front foot (unable to get hips forward) because your stance is too wide
