Custom/Hybrid {{{Opinion's On Foot Hold Placement}}}

[Sanoman]

there is no way to calculate this, every ski rides different and there are so many variable in any setup to the next that makes them different hull length, pole length, rideplate, power. and then by person to person its just too hard. the only thing that I can say to be even remotely helpful is to ride the ski and see where the comfortable spot is to stand. or where you think you will need to stand for the type of riding you do and your personal style.

just because you wear a size 10 does not mean that every size 10 shoe will be comfortable or fit you.

Thank you Mr Rill!

My RoK's had them all the way to the rear and I just cut both sets out and am moving the forward by 2". The further forward you can be and still have leverage on the rear the better I think. The shorter you can get your pole the more control you have over the ski as well.
My pole is short but I want it shorter and with the holds to the back it wasnt going to work. Look at all the freaks, the holds are way forward, look at the Kongs, all way forward. The shorter the hull in the rear the more forward you need to be with your holds.

Just my opinion. I can measure the holds in the -5 and see where they are and you can figure from there if ya want. I will also measure the pole. I think you and Keith are simular hieghts right. So in theory you would need them about an inch further back than his because your running a longer hull. Right????????????

Yea Brian,let me know the measurement.l'm 5'9" but l have found the footholds on the rok probably could come up about 2".l just seem to stretched out when in them.Soon as l get the chance,the footholds are getting more foam and turf.Loose last year,snug this year.

Appreciate your thoughts man!
