Frontside is the new backside...

[Wetstuff]

I had one of those 'You Dumb Chit' moments..  I kept taking off on rights just like I would prone - right foot forward. The paddle ends up kinda behind me with my torso twisted - messy results. I often end up often holding the paddle in the air to better keep my balance.  Backside became natural for me proning, so I never thought of this 'till one day last week.

"Since I am already standing .. since my feet are side-by-side .. why not simply step back with my right foot when going right?" 

F'ing-A ..it works!  I have never done switch before.  One of the reasons I SUP is that with age and being away from prone for 10-12yrs kiting ..I completely lost the quick popup required in my local surf.

This is too much fun.

If you're having fun Jim it can only mean you are doing it right!  I predict 360's for you in the very near future.
