Hey guys, so I recently impulse bought a pair of sfb's.... the price was to good not to. I am mainly an east coast skier but I do usually head out west once or twice a year. I am 6'3 200 pounds and bought the 189 version of the skis I also ride 50% all mountain 50 % park. I am torn right now whether to mount these skis at the recommend line or whether to centre mount them. Ive have always had centre mounted skis in the past and love surfing and jibbing around the mountain. Any suggestion would be super helpful. Cheers!

I love my SFB's not sure what model year you got, but i would HIGHLY recommend using the Eric's Choice mounting point. I think it's -2? The Factory Recommended line is -5 I believe.

do Erics choice, the ski isn't symmetrical so there is so reason to mount them center.

youre not going to notice a difference between a -1 and -2, maybe if you jumped from -2 to tru center, but besides that i doubt it. Go with erics choice, i have with my 2015 and i have no ragrets what so ever

This. I had the old model SFBs and highly recommend to mount them at Eric's.

I had the 2013 SFBs and made the mistake of mounting at recommended. i believe the 2012's had recommended at -2 and they moved it back on the 13's.

sounds like there are 2 lines now - if so I'd go -2.
