You might be confused between the Regular, Goofy, and Switch, so let's look at each of these snowboard types one by one. You should consider which type of snowboard you prefer before you decide to buy it. It is possible that you will prefer one of them. Depending upon your hand shape, you could choose a left or right-handed stick. The fundamental principles are the exact same.
Regular
Snowboarders who are new to the sport will find it easier to learn if both bindings have a 15 degree angle. The front binding should face the nose, and the left binding towards the tail. This stance gives riders more control and leverage. Regular or goofy, riding a snowboard is an entirely personal preference. These two stances can be very different so you should learn how to tell the difference and try them out to determine which is best.
Goofy
The goofy stance is a way to put your right foot in front or vice versa when snowboarding. This stance originated from Disney cartoons, but it has nothing to do with left-handedness. It's simply a matterof body preference. You should use your dominant front foot. But, you might prefer to use the left foot for riding.
Change
You're basically switching your stance when you learn how to ride a switch. Your left foot will be at the back on a regular snowboard and your right foot will be in front. On a switch, your right foot is at front, and your left foot is at back. This is similar to doing a 180 turn. Riding a switch is like learning to ride again, or writing with your left hand if you're right-handed.
Skateboard
Many skateboarders have been intrigued by the term "skateboard goofy" for many years. It's a universal mystery that has remained a mystery even today, with questions ranging from which hand to wipe your ass, to which leg to kick the ball with. Although the origin of the word is not clear, it is believed to have been inspired by the 1937 Disney cartoon, "Hawaiian Holiday." In which Goofy, the title character, surfs with his right foot forward, This doesn't reveal much about the term, but it does provide some clues.
Surfing
A Regular board is preferred by most snowboarders. Regular literally refers to "clumsy yet funny" and is derived by the Disney character Goofy. Goofy is known for riding his right foot forward in the Hawaiin Holiday cartoon. He was popular in other board sports like skateboarding. Like most snowboarders, skateboarders put their best foot forward. It was therefore not surprising that Goofy got into snowboarding.
