pretty much as far forward as is possible. I could go a tiny bit
further but it gets uncomfortable.


I could also add that moving your weight slightly toward the rear of the
board partway through the turn will help keep the tail of the board from
breaking loose and skidding. Lifting your rear toe can also help this.
Experiment, and see what helps you most.


I do try to shift weight back a little bit but that seems to only have
an effect on steeper runs. I've not tried the toe thing.

Perhaps I should elaborate a little bit. While I'd certainly like to
have more heel side angulation while on the steep stuff, I find it
is more of a problem (lack) on the less steep, even though I might be
crusing at a fairly good clip. It just seems like I go from a
decent edge on the toe side to not much at all on heel unless like I
said I'm on steeper (not necessarily faster) stuff.
