On the other hand, your back foot is responsible for shifting weight, turning and twisting the board, and generating speed and control. In other words, you need to lock it onto the midsection of your board and move it as little as possible. In contemporary surfing, unless you’re trying to pull off tricks like the floater and whatnot, your front foot is only a balancing foot. Without figuring out where your feet should go, what they should be doing, and why, there’s no chance that you’ll complete a session, let alone improve. In surfing, the positioning of feet is of crucial importance simply because that’s how you’re going to ride a surfboard. Now, let’s see how you can assess which is your dominant foot. However, whichever foot is the dominant one gets to decide whether you’re one of the goofy-footed athletes or not. And the damnedest thing is, both can be categorized as a natural stance as long as left-handed people aren’t discriminated against as well. First, there’s a regular stance and then the goofy stance. Well, that’s unfortunately not the thinking in board sports. If someone asked you such a question in a casual conversation, you’d probably be puzzled and then think with a growing sense of self-doubt: “Both are natural, aren’t they? Aren’t they?” After all, it’s not like a lot of engineering went into making one of your feet, and the other was just God-given. Yet, before all that glory and complexity, even before you sign up for a couple of surfing lessons, you need to answer a question posed to aspiring surfers and those who’re interested in other board sports: “Which one is your natural foot? Is it the right foot or the left foot?” You engage in meditation and yoga on a daily basis, live with the dream of busting incredibly complicated airs, and are expected to have a degree of mental strength that could make even the most chill person on the planet, like Dalai Lama, jealous.
