well i like to ride it both,
i like right becuase i have my left foot forward naturally and i can carve better that way.
however i like left becuase i am learning to be a switch foot and have my right foot forward at times and it is more challeging.
so in short i guess my answer is:
i love them both.

Depends on ur footing if ur reg then u wil go rite naturally but if ya goofy then u will go left naturally.
But u cn go both i find they dnt rele have a diff part going against mi reg and turning left is harder?

im goofy so i naturally go left, but i like riding right waves as well. i usually go left unless it closes out. then ill turn back right.

one thing i noticed when i was surfing is some of the surfers out there love one way soo much they wont go the other way.
there was this guy mabye 18 a decent surfer who got a nice righthander only he took it left. right into the break and the wiped out when he had a perfect right.

another way i decide which way im going is if someone is on my wave, if they go left i go right if they go right i go left. i always try to stay to the left of people that i know go right. that way we both get what we want :D
