New Foils Question

Hey I just got a new pair of Salomon Foils, a bit pricey but their so sick!!! I ride 75% park and 25% all mountain; I had them mounted at the recommended mounting point. I was just wondering if mounting them at this point leaves a slightly lengthier tip then tail which might affect spinning? riding fakie? buttering? rails? Should I center mount em or leave em the way the are?

i'm not exactlly sure where the mounting point is on the foil... but if you ride alot of park and all, i'd recommend center mounting for sure. get a ture center where they just measure from tip to tail, then divide the number and midsole mount it

I have them mounted at recomended and they feel fine. Dont center mount them. It'll suck outside the park.

I think recommended is actually pretty far forward on the foils, so that would probably be fine. correct me if I'm wrong

from the recomended mounting point measure 2cm forward and then mount from that point

i would take a picture but i bought salomon bindings and i blew out the heel piece on them after like 3 days on snow

you should be good if you just measure +2cm

center doesn't suck for everything else, it just takes some getting used to
