Glossary Regular Stance
Definition: Regular, or Regular-Foot refers to a skateboarder, snowboarder, surfer or wakeboarder riding with his or her left foot in front, toward the nose of the board. Regular stance gets this name because most people put their left foot forward.

Also Known As: Regular Foot, Regualr Stance, Regular
