I never used the parallel stance.  When out cruising, I used a slight staggered stance.  I'm in full staggered stance (on the 9'2x28, the 8'2x29 and the 8'0x28) while padding out toward/chasing the incoming wave and then used the paddle strokes and back foot to pivot/turn to catch and to glide with the wave.  Echoing Robcasey - personal style! Do what is most comfortable with the best chance for higher wave counts.

It helped that I'm in the water at least 1.5 to 2 hrs and seven days a week, weather permitted.  Semi-retirement has it privileges!
