Bindings on a snowboard are setup in a duck stance. Typically 15 to 18 degrees on the front foot, and 8 to 12 on the back foot. The reason for these angles are to allow your knees to bend easily and help to pivot and steer your snowboard. Increasing the angle on your back foot allows you to ride switch easier. The width of your stance is also important. Typically you want your feet to be a little more than shoulder width apart. More advanced riders prefer a wider stance which lowers your centre of gravity. Freestyle snowboards also prefer a wider stance for grabs, spins, and rails.
