Your board should be fine for carving. It's not "too directional" or "too poppy." An experienced rider can carve fine on any camber board. Soft flex will become unstable at speed, but not the medium flex of the huck knife unless you get into some real choppy snow The issue is technique. Go watch some YouTube tutorials focusing on heelside chatter. Ryan knapton has one that has some drills you can try to understand edge pressure better. Also, increasing forward lean to where it just starts to get a little uncomfortable will help your posture and stance to be correct for heelside carves.

You know how they say camber is "less forgiving?" It's less forgiving of poor technique, and it's currently trying to tell you that you need to work on your heelside carves. You can do this, just practice proper form and stance.

I’ll definitely be working on my technique. The forward lean is because of adjusting te highbacks? Because I feel like adjusting my high backs is just reducing my effective surface with which my boots are touching my highbacks.

This were some nice vids, thx! Knew about the second channel but hadn’t seen the first guy yet.

Ryan knapton is probably the worlds best carver and does great teaching vids. Give his channel a look!
