Bindings position-

I'd say go with the first option with out knowing any of your stats

What type of board you got, what size, your personal stats (ie. weight, height, boot size)?

also most importantly, what style of riding are you gonna be doing, freestlye or just all mountain cruising? I'm assuming the latter because you are new.  how often do you ride regular and switch. (once again prolly not sure)

considering the fact that you don't know much since you are a noob(no offense) i'd say go with the first option.    If you are on a twin shaped and centered board the second with make your nose shorter than your tail, might be a little weird.   If your not sure about your stance width, measure from your heel to the top of your knee.  this is a good place to start.
as for the angle, that is all preference.  try it out, if its not workin, switch it up a little bit

basically with not much knowledge, 1st option

if the stance width in the middle on both felt too wide then your right.

now that i know the board, i'm stickin witht my first suggestion.   first option should be best for you to start out on.   if you start riding switch more and it feels different riding regular, then you could try the second option.   but for now before you get too good at riding switch it'll be good for you.

just try your binding positions and switch it up as you feel best

anytime

thats what we're here for

Whoops. Not angle of the board. but angles of your bindings.

i do +15(front) -15 (back) it works out good for me 

Mine are set as +15/-9

does anyone have their back binding angle set higher than their front angle?

because right now im at +12 and -15

not necessarily.

A pure jibber will ride wider because it will enhance their balance by lowering their center of gravity.

A pure freerider will ride narrower because it will enhance their high speed control by giving them more leverage.

well, if you go to the mountain, just about everybody is riding ducked.   even guys that are tearing big mtn lines in AK

Man, I remember thinking I was brilliant for coming up with +15/-15 for my bindings after trying a bunch of different settings and thought it was so radical and unique. Quite clearly wrong!

I was riding duck when I forst started and was having trouble, so an instructor got me to try +18/0 and it really helped learning to freeride. Now that I've got the hang of it I'm ducking out a little and going with +16/-9 to make switch easier.

depends what your doing but +15 -15 is good if your not switch as much bring the back in a lil...but its what feels comfy for you everyone is different, these are all preferences for these ppl and their styles, change it around and see what you think
