Interesting, whay size feet and whawt width board to you ride?
Obviously I'm still playing with my stance setup.

Mondo 28, on a 19.5 cm wide board. Those angles give me a couple of mm
overhang on the rear foot, and a couple of mm underhang on the front
foot.

Just another data point:

Raichle shell, Mondo 25, Catek or TD2 step-in bindings, ~19" wide stance

18 cm waist - 57 back foot is flush with edge
18.5 waist - 55 back foot is flush (bigger sidecut than above board, means
less widening as you go out from waist)
21.5 waist - pretty much any alpine stance will underhang a bit

How do you compute over/underhang? I'm riding a Mondo 25.5 Oxygen
Protons, which actually have soles that are a couple of mm longer than
my 26 Raichle 224s.

The Prior 4WD had a 21.3 waist, 9.5 m sidecut and it looks like I had
0 overhand (looking straight down) with 53/48. My Burton Ultraprime
162 has like a 20 cm (roughly) waist. How much does a wide board make
a difference? Like is a 19 cm board much quick edge to edge than a 21
cm board?
