Firstly it is important to understand what is meant by stance. Stance is how and where you stand on your board.
Your first step is determining whether you are Regular (left-foot-forward) or Goofy (right-foot-forward) . For those of you who skateboard or snowboard, this is easy and is just the same as if you are on one of those boards.
lf this is your first board sport, don't panic. Here’s how you can figure it out: Stand up (on land), feet together and have someone push you from behind. Whichever foot goes forward first is your lead foot.
When you hear the word switch you’ll have to know that refers to your board going the opposite of your normal stance, for example:
* If you ride Regular “left leg forward”and you switch the board than your right leg is forward that means you are now on your switch stance.
So if you don’t know yet witch stance you are, it’s not a problem you will know when you get up on your board “it will come naturally” so don’t worry.
