I haven’t looked at my board in a while so I can’t say what my back foot was but I know my front foot was 14 or 15\*. Back foot was only slightly +\* so maybe 0-3ish. Not sure how far apart they were, pretty close to shoulder width, not a wide stance by any means. This is how I setup my board when I got it and after riding a few times on it and slightly tweaking things around it’s what I came up with and felt comfortable with.

15,-9 for me.

I found that if I dont have the back foot angled enough I get all squirrly at high speeds because my foot wants to angle back to negative pushing my board around. anyone get that?

I have never really been too sure about width, where do I measure from?

I have been tempted to try a forward stance,  
Currently set-up with a narrow duck stance. Been riding that way for 8 years and have played with the set-up for each board.  
Although, I think the new board just has a bit too much angle on the back foot.  
I never ride park or switch anymore.

That is like saying you are certified to mount tires.
