Right handed and regular but everyone else in the family is right / goofy.  They tell me I'm the one that's goofy.

I am really weird.
Right handed, surf regular, but I skateboard goofy.  I haven't skated in five years, but up until then with kids still in the house, I would go with them and skate an 8' mini pipe.  I was the only one wearing helmet, elbow,knee and wrist pads, but at 48 I couldn't take a chance.
The benefit is that when I longboard surf, I switch stance with no awkward transition. I don't do it much on my short sup.

Right goofy and goofy. But I drop my right foot back when I paddle.  Either I need to work on dropping my left foot when paddling or go switch foot.

You should set up a poll to get some real results. This forum is large enough to get a fairly accurate result. I think this site has the tools. I've wondered about this for close to fifty years but it never seems to correlate. I write and eat left handed and everything that requires strength right handed. My Dad was the opposite but that was probably forced on him at an early age. I surf regular but like to switch foot to ride frontside on SUP.

I've seen somewhere that about 35% are goofy foot and the rest are regular(in skateboarding), and the goofy footer's percentage goes higher on a snowboard, since in snowboarding there is not really a goofy or regular stance.

Also, lots more female tend to be goofy footer as well.

I gave myself a tried to become regular foot for like a week on a skateboard. Eventually I got okay at it, but the whole time I was feeling very awkward.

Right and goofy. Fairly confident going switch on SUP and snowboard but not on skateboards.

It's simple, either you get the wave or the wave gets you.

Right and regular on everything.  Switch is fairly natural on my snowboard but less confident on SUP.
