i wanted to know if anyone is like me and surfs goofey and skates regular?
I always used to skate goofy and surf regular. Never helped me improve upon my surfing so I switched to regular skating.
I skate & surf regular, but for some reason I've always liked pushing with the front foot while skating, which a lot of people tell me is a strange thing to do .Quote:

You look ridiculous and you will have a lot of trouble setting up for certain tricks.
my cousin does that because he thinks that it gives him a longer range to push, translating into fewer pushs and more speed.Quote:

wow guys! I thought i was the only one like this! I surf and skate goofy, and snowboard and wakeboard regular and both feel completely natural. i guess it has something to do with the bindings, and which foot is better to drive with each set up. it does help alot with switch riding so i guess its a good thing.
I've been skating for about 6 years and snowboarding for 4 and im naturally a goofy foot. For some reason i cant pop up goofy so ive been surfing regular footed. Its a weird adjustment and i can't really do cuts and turns that well b.c im doing everything switch.
pushing with your front foot is called "mongo." Its a bad habit, and people will make fun of you for it.
How much do you think skating helps your surfing? i just started going to the park again hoping it will help my surfing.
