Did you always wonder if you’re a regular footer or a goofy footer?
Find out in this quick and easy tutorial!

Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Stand with your feet together and have someone give you a gentle push from behind.

Step 2: As you start to lose your balance, notice which foot you put forward to catch yourself.
Left foot forward = regular footer
Right foot forward = goofy footer

Step 3: Another way to tell is to think about which foot feels more comfortable in front when you’re standing still.
Left foot = regular footer
Right foot = goofy footer

Once you’ve determined your stance, it’s time to hit the waves 🏄‍♀️
