Well, I went 27/12 on my powder board just to see how it felt. Heelside turns saw a great improvement but somehow I did not feel as confident on some of my frontside turns.
Frontside turn meaning heelside?
Sorry about that. I'm a surfer, so I mixed up terms. In surfing, facing the wave is frontside and when you have your back to the wave it is backside. Anyway, my heelside turns were easier but my toeside turns were a challenge with a 27/9 binding angles.

Huh, I don’t surf but that seems even more confusing 🫤
When surfing frontside, a bottom turn would be toeside, but a top turn would be heelside?
But yeah, I certainly find it harder to stack my weight toeside when I’m riding in more of a Warrior stance. I’ll initiate with my upper body rotating into the turn, but then I don’t always continue pressuring like that… I’ll kinda maintain upper body and let the board come around so that with the separation I become more counter rotated, increasing edge angle and body angulation a bit as the turn progresses.
