i dont know

i skate board goofy
i 666 goofy
i surf goofy

but have been told that my pop up is awkward... feels ok to me but looks uncomfortable they say

have been told wake boarding that i look like i want to go natural

i used to surf natural 25 yrs ago but got into this again and started goofy

am i a natural surfing goofy? i did the push in the back test just now... yep natural...

do i have to go back and start again? have been surfing goofy for over a year now... they say it isnt pretty because i should be natural :( in my mind i rip

on the wave no probs , and very very very comfortable

advice?

Jas' my son was the same as you everything natural and surfed goofy for about a year and struggled a tab.So Ii made him put the leggie on his right foot and made him go natural,at first he fell off a couple of waves and then it clicked one hour later his surfing had improved fast,never too late mate give it ago if it fails just go with the flow.

Pop-Ups are really good exercise actually.

Kind of fun on the grass too. After about 10 to 15 (on the same spot), you are starting to really set some foot-prints in the grass. Feels cool, and looks cool.

Might put it on YouTube for you blokes later in the week... Just for a good laugh!

I skate goofy, snowboard either way & surf natural. I tried a bit of switch foot over the summer on the mal & its like something in my brain says "quick fall off!"
