Don't offset your feet like that, have both feet entirely on the board.

you get more power out of a wider stance

416, first off your more than likely going to want your feet on the board completely like soy escuala said (he is school ya know). you definitely want to have the feel from your heels and balls of your feet... i move my feet around a little placement wise, but generally you should put your feet in the crevasses between the tail/nose and where the center concave starts. so put your feet where the woods the thinnest basically. your feet will lock in the best that way. and remember that w2w height and distance isn't gained by the standard ollie. its an edge 'through' the wake and a following ollie motion afterwards. good luck
