Although the band was originally known as "Chin Up", the band mates (Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman, and Chad Butler) choose the band name Switchfoot because it is a Surfing term that is used when a surfer changes their foot position on the board and goes the opposite way. It can also mean to gain a new perspective or new insight. As a group hailing from San Diego, California, the name felt appropriate.
