does goofy or regular apply for your stance on the ski. Trying to figure out where to put my foot straps. Any pointers??

Which ever way you initially stand on your ski is the way you should do your straps.
But with that being said, I ride regular on a skate board and snow board, but ride goofy on a jet ski.

I naturally ride regular, but have been trying to ride goofy more and more to give my lower back a rest.

Don't mount that strap until you are sure of where you want it. Next time you are out riding just try to make a mental note of what is natural for you and where your front foot is most of the time. It's not rocket science.....go with what feels natural.

Absolutely. The terms Goofy Foot and Regular Foot came from the surfing world were you actually ride in a sideways stance on your board while surfing. A lot of surf riders, ride there skis the same way. For those who don’t know, Goofy = Right foot forward stance and Regular = Left foot forward stance.
As already stated some people surf or skate in regular stance and ride skis in goofy stance or vice versa so if you’re not sure what your stance is, the best way is just to go ride with out thinking about it. Your feet will automatically go with which way feels the most comfortable. After a while, make a note of your stance and especially foot placement and then you’ll have a pretty good indicator were to put your straps or you could stuff a grease pencil in your wetsuit sleeve and when you find your best foot placement mark it so you’ll get your straps in the right place.
stand with your two feet together close your eyes and get a mate to push you what ever foot you lead with will be 9 times out of ten the you put forward
as far as strap position when you have no clue as to where you will like it take some chalk out with you ride around and get comfortable then dont moove your feet and slide up the beach and mark your stance
