Is there any advantages or disadvantages of being a Regular or Goofy Footed Surfer?

Maybe if you're a goofy foot and you love riding front side, but you're surounded by right point breaks.

also there seem to be less goofy folk around so you can get quite a few frontside waves when theres quite a few in the water

Now that title sounds like a real Academy Award Winner of a movie! Needless to say the quote is pretty clever and humorous! :-)

When you (regular footed) finally go to Bali and you check out the breaks.... You will be very disapointed when 9 out of 10 of the spots are lefts!

But it also helps if, when you start learning, pop-up on which ever feels un-natural. Then "hopefully" you should be able to ride both!
