Duke mounting help

I recently bought some marker dukes. I’m mounting them onto my Solomon 1080 foils. I was wondering where I should have them mounted on my skis. I’m about 6’2” and 145 lbs.

Seriously, that's the worst setup I've ever heard of with dukes.

Chris Davenport skied the 14ers on whatever salomons flat tailed version of the foil was called, not with dukes though.

Its not a horrible idea to tour on that ski, but you could find a much better ski especially to mount dukes on and if you want to ski pow.
