Kook questioning life right now...

East coaster (not NJ unfortunately) with really only mushy waves to learn on. Knowing I need to practice turns and pumping got a surf skate... I surf regular, never even questioned it.. started using the surf skate then realized "OH my right foot is forward!" and tried to skate with switched feet and promptly ate shit.

I've probably overthought this now and both feet are awkward (much like when you say the word kook too many times and it loses its meaning) but the pop up feels weird goofy but I swear I can't push with my right foot on the surfskate... Do I switch my surf stance? my surfskate stance?

Anyone else with this issue??
