Which shoulder are you better at looking over when skiing switch? And are you goofy or regular on a skateboard?

Depends on which way I'll be throwing a trick which shoulder I look over, but just riding generally, I like my right shoulder better.

Never been on a snowboard.

I'm more comfortable looking over my right shoulder/spinning right.
I ride regular.

Skate regular
Look over left shoulder switch
Spin right

These threads have been made hundreds of times and I'm convinced there's no correlation whatsoever

I ride my goofy with my left skateboard when switch but spin right unless I'm forward then it's regular or unnatural

I ride goofy.
I look over my right shoulder more comfortably.
But I spin naturally to the left.

Left shoulder skiing switch.
Regular for wake surfing
Regular and goofy for skimboarding, both feel equal which is odd.

It could also have something to do with your dominant eye, as well as foot placement preference. I'm left eye dominant, so naturally I prefer to face things with my left eye.

Goofy, left shoulder. Used to feel more comfortable over my right shoulder, but once I started hitting booters switch and spinning left I got better at my left shoulder.

Left shoulder, goofy. I actually always feel like I can't turn my head to the right as far as I can to the left, and I've never had any injuries that would cause that. I see some people switch the shoulder they look over as they carve, but if I try that half the time I feel like I'll crash. It's just easier for me to always look over my left.

I'm the opposite of this, I ride a skateboard goofy, and prefer spinning left/left shoulder when switch
