...Goofy riding, well.. Goofy footed.
Maybe this shreds some light on the origin of goofy footed. Perhaps more riders rode regular-footed (natural) and the remaining right-foot forward surfers were nicknamed goofy. This term progressed to skateboarding, then snowboarding.
Thank you Goofy, You're a good character!
PS. Eero Ettala rides goofy and he can tweak a pretty mean method.
