i've been riding goofy on port for years on my old tige, and was lovin it.....but now I'm havn to learn all over again ridn' goofy on the starboard side of my naughty.....i just got too used to diggn with my heels I guess...
I always surf regular on the starboard side. I just didnt know any better. Then someone mentions it so instead of transferring all of the weight to the port side I just rode switch and did fine.
Im goofy and when we ride on the port i ride switch. I find that if I go heel side i ride up the wake and also dive the nose more on turns. Where as switch i can ride without the rope and carve.
i think you should try all 4 ways to surf. it just makes you a better surfer and its a lot of fun even if you look retarded at first. jeff walker is the king of switch backside which is so hard.
