Association between preferred surfing stance and home-country wave direction: Evidence that environmental constraints can shape human motor behavior?

2025-05-15

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The current study investigated the relationship between the predominant wave direction in elite surfers’ home countries and their preferred surfing stance, with either the left foot (i.e., regular stance) or right foot forward (i.e., goofy stance).
