1. Goofy stance is when you stand so your right leg is the front leg. Regular the left is the front.

4. Okay, thanks!

5. This is me skate boarding goofy years and years ago.

2. Same as surfing: right foot in back, regular. Left foot in back, goofy.

I do not know the origin of the derogatory description of lefties.

3. As above, this terminology is also used by surfers - I remember hearing "goofy footed"...

...years ago. I'm neither a surfer nor snowboarder.

Odd personal story - I am unambiguously right handed, and if I were to kick a soccer ball, I would use my right foot. When I did cartwheels many decades ago as a little girl, I always turned to my left and put my left hand on the ground first. I remember what that felt like, even now and when I try to envision/imagine doing a cartwheel going the other way, my mind just won't go there.
