#73.0 Goofy Footers Dream Come True

A goofy foots dream come true.

On the east of Australia, a northerly wind only means one thing for a minority of surfing enthusiasts.

Left hand waves in the southern protected corners.

A goofy footer is a surfer who’s feet are placed with their left foot at the back of board over the fins, from direction of travel and the right foot on the middle front of the board.

When riding frontside to the wave (going left) their body faces towards the wave down the line, with the breaking section of the wave behind them or to their right from the direction they are travelling.

The cover image is a pesky left handed rolling through with a straight westerly wind blowing intensely square into the face of the wave.

Moreton Island is more known for its uncrowded right handed point breaks but depending on the winds and swell direction, it can turn a left handed beach break into a goofy foots best memories.
