Also my understainding is that Fawcett mount the bindings set back, from the standard suggested stance, even in this Kazu version.
Maybe is worth giving a try.
Thank you for the tip, Kazu felt so balanced at reference setback (20mm), so I probably would never have tried it other way, but now I did, set bindings at 40mm setback, front innermost inserts, rear at reference, to provide my stance of ~54cm, and this works perfectly. Still very balanced, did not feel any need for excessive front foot pressure, but now did not feel "lack of nose" anymore. Btw, this is now as much setback as possible for ~54mm stance.

Also, I set rear binding at +15° and my muscle memory immediately remembered that this (+33°, +15°) is how I was riding almost whole last season, just my "normal" memory forgot this over summer. Now I do not have rear ankle issue anymore.

This is obvs the wrong board for you if you can't make it work riding the reference stance, or so Ive heard.

To translate my bad english: it worked perfectly for me at reference, but it works equally well with more setback, and having more nose is an advantage some time.

But yeah, I mostly keep buying wrong boards for me, "all mountain" instead of freecarving boards, simply because it is easy to buy all mountain board, which is good also for freecarving, than to buy real freecarving board and not get disappointed.

Is anyone riding a Navigator? I’m looking at replacing my Burton Skeleton Key this year and the Navifator seems like a good fit for me here in the NW. I really need a board that turns well at slower speeds and will let me steer with my feet rather than something stiff that needs room to turn. I do like to straight line through chunder though so it can’t be too soft.

Have the '24, it's prettttty soft (way softer than the SK). It's like a DOA in freeride clothes and does great at slower speeds. People claim they stiffened up the '25 with that new wood topsheet.

I don’t think I could go much softer than my SK. The US Horizon is another one that tickles my fancy.

Kazu 160 (normal, not wide)
Atlas Pro large
Ride Insano 44.5
max. stance and 15/15 angles

you've probably got room to move your heelcup in at least one notch to even out your toe/heel drag, @HasanPoland

for reference, I'm a US 10.5 (EU 44) in L Atlas, and I push the heelcup into the smallest setting, and would still have room to adjust the straps longer if needed.
