I don't know specifically about the SFB. But I do have the 11/12 Influence 105, and I mounted them back 1cm. (I've also owned Prophet 100's, and mounted them at the same spot. I really like it, but I should say that I am using them as an everyday, all conditions (ie. not only pow) ski. By mounting it back, it skis a little more traditionally: less tail to lean back on, which means you must stay frontseat to control them well. Kinda like a race/carving ski, but not to such an extent. I think this is great for everyday conditions. But if I was using them as a pure pow ski, I would leave them on the line, as I like a little more centered feel for pow and don't want to have to lean super far forward (and possibly dive tips) in the pow. But when ripping around the mtn in harder conditions, -1 is perfect.
Again, this is not the SFB. But the same concept applies. Shoot me a pm if you have any more questions.
Skiing, whether you're in Wisconsin or the Alps, is a dumbass hick country sport that takes place in the middle of winter on a mountain at the end of a dirt road.
