I think I remember sedition suggesting in another thread that your feet, waist, and shoulders should be in about the same plane. I think that's about right for me when I'm carving decently. I probably have my waist a bit below the plane of my feet and shoulders when I turn heelside most of the time though. That could be a bit of bad form or "breaking at the waist"...

And thanks Snowolf for your explanation about the board tech. Makes sense, as always.

You get way less, if any, pop out of a carve turn with a banana. Because the board has a reverse camber, a strong carve might decamber it more, but there is less energy stored in the board, which means you can't get as much energy out in 'pop' or rebound.
