Usually it is easier to surf a wave facing the wave so if you are goofy foot a left breaking is easier.Regular foot a right. After you get good it just doesn't matter. LOL: Laugh out loud. :lol:

theres nothin wrong with bein goofy! goofy pride!

to find out if youre goofy or regular get a mate to stand behing you and push you when yoiure not expecting it and whichever foot you put out is youre lead foot!

you should go with what your legs take you

A good way to test is to take a run up and skid on a wooden/ slippery floor - whichever leg goes forward is the one you should have forward when you surf.

My mate learned to surf goofy and now surfs regular which means he can do all sorts of 'switchfoot' tricks. - Cool!

Another good way is to fall forward and see which legs stops u frm smacking you face on the ground

Yeah, try that and if no foot stops you and you fall on your face - you should probably give up surfing anyway!!
