Whats better for surfing flat foot or arched foot.?

Question

i don't want your foot story i want the answer if you know it. thanks

Answer 1

dude he means flat foot or ached as in your feet are flat, like flip flops. or arched like running shoes. you don't choose if you flat foot or arched!http://www.uoftbookstore.com/online/prod...

Answer 2

Dario, buddy!  Think about your question. Try to stand on the floor, and LIFT YOUR ARCH UP. You can't. Oh, you can bend your foot, or roll up your toes, but you can't control the curve of your arch. However you stand on the floor, is how you stand on a surf board. Anatomy & physiology have certain limitations.

Answer 3

I think he is asking the question in general, like "who would be better, a person with flat or one with high arch?" not asking "which should I do?"  If that is the case, there is really no advantage one way or the other.  They have done studies that show that there is no difference in athletic ability between the two types.

Answer 4

it doesnt mader

Answer 5

there is no answer just as you can't answer : which is better, alpine snowboarding or free-ride?

Personally, I tend to arch my feet, cause I have a lot of balance. I was a half-pipe skater as a teen.

With flat feet you have a better feel.

But I suppose everyone's got a pretty flat front foot, and the other is arched.

That's the way surfing is.
