You write with your right hand, kick with your right foot.
When surfing, skating, snowboarding etc you lead with your right?
And yet most lead with their left.
Safe to say most left handed people lead with their left too.
Perplexing

That’s horseshit haha. When a chance to split a wave with a regular sitting on the left they always go right.

re snowboarding, @seeds, I ski.. not that there's anything wrong with snowboarding. I'm glad snowboarders can be out in the open. Some of my best friends are snowboarders, and I am supportive of the lifestyle.

Snowboarding is piss easy compared to surfing - and to skiing. Day one might be hard for some, and you'll get a wet bum, but then it's lightning quick progression.

Becoming an expert snowboarder is of course hard as fuck, but that's the case with all mastery.
