Band Name Origins:
- It has to do with surfing; they switch their feet on the surfboard. Submitted by: Cate
- Jon Foreman himself said, "Switchfoot is a surfing term. We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music." Submitted by: Amanda
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Sounds like what a person who had to stand on one foot all day would do. Submitted by: Vic George
