Hi Jay. Let me begin by welcoming you to this site and complimenting you for such a thorough and informative post. I really feel like I got a good image of your riding experience and situation from that.I do want to get a little bit more info from you before offering you recommendations. Primarily how your boots and bindings are positioned on your board. Are your boots centered heel/toe-wise? Do the heels/toes of the boots overhang any? If so how much? Can you post a pic of the board/boot/binding all strapped in?Sorry for so many questions, but I need to get a better image of your gear setup.Peace,Frosty
