Hello all! Ive just started learning the kite and still haven't introduced the board as yet. As Im starting to learn about wind direction as well as getting educated on how to get up, turns, changing direction etc.
One thing has become clear to me! In summer majority of the time the wind comes from the South, meaning my first ever experience introducing the board i will be trying to get up with my non preferred foot at the back!(switch)

I apologies for the terms "goofy and switch" as it doesn't seem to apply in kite boarding but i come from a skateboard/wake board background and that's the only way i know how describe it.
Ive done some study and a lot of people say spend sometime on your skateboard/snowboard/wake board riding switch.

What Im wanting to know is has anyone else been in the same situation as myself and how was your experience?
Also how did you go advancing to tricks and lastly being "goofy rider" does this give me an advantage or disadvantage in terms of learning the wonderful sport? eg: im assuming riding upwind will feel more comfortable.

thanks guys and girls

Thanks for the feedback KIT33R

Thanks Dylan I'll be putting this to practice next lesson
