Hey,

When I started, I went right foot forward, because I figured that I was right-handed, so I should be right foot forward. Is this the right way of thinking? Will it affect my riding, because I am having trouble getting down my wake to wake even though I think I am doing everything correct.

Well your natrul foot will just come up natrully when you get up, it takes a little bit of force to get the other one up.

yeah, you'll figure out pretty quick which stance feels more natural. Then, improve upon that stance and improve upon your switchstance. Get to the point where they both feel equally natural when you ride. It will take time, of course, but it's a part of progression...

The best way to tell is do put some socks and slide across a wood floor, the foot that goes first is the foot you wakeboard first with. Or, is someone pushes you from behind, what foot would you put forward first, that also is a good test.
