Tacking/Gybing both ways

I never knew about all this until I snowboarded, I was lucky windsurfing in that my home break was starboard tack, so my Port tack evened out quite easily without my realising why, but as age slows down the learning process of new things, like Kiteboarding and trying to sail a skiff without first doing the basics, the differences do show up. I could always tack the MPS wire to wire from Port to Starboard, but the other way inevitably saw me in irons similarly the Blaze much later down the path. Yet the problems are not as apparent if the boat itself is well balanced, I hardly ever have issues with the EPS, or maybe I've become more practised at doing whatever it is you're supposed to do the way it should be, so practise as ever is key and practise on your wrong side, the right side will inevitably look after itself.. I often wonder what it would be like returning to the MPS, doubt it would be that much different.
