Everyone is wrong. Snowboarding is the closest board sport to stance fluency, expecially with their open toed symmetrical stance. Not so much downhill but for free style, for which my argument is, because snowboarding is more free style dominant rater than down hill. Why you ask? Because skiing with double the edge length, less surface area, and forward nature of skiing nature dominates down hill. Case and point For Surf coaches only. If you want to predict the evolution of stance fluency in professional surfing, look to compeditive freestyle snowboarding. It's inevitable due to progression Unless ThankfulsaurusWrecks thread about machines taking our jobs is correct.
