Waveriding Regular or Goofy or both ?

Hello

Almost every single one of us are either regular or goofy.

And many of us prefer to ride our "natural" stance, so we use this no matter what side the wind comes from, when waveriding.

So interesting to see how many does one or another or both - no matter if we are strong or just weaksided Regular or Goofy.

Many of us might have wind from one side most of the time at our local wavespots - but IF it was 50/50 (many has travelled and will know) from day to day whether the wind was from the right or left, what would you typically prefer to do out of the 5 choices ?

Kindly, Peter Frank

I prefere riding waves frontside nomatter the conditions. It was a littke tricky in the beginning as I were regular by natural. But to day I have no prefered stance when kiting waves. When surfing without kite I am still regular (the take off is still weired if I fo goofy). So here I prefere righthanders
