How to

Step by step
  1. On a gentle slope, set the board across the fall line and bend both knees slightly (about 30 degrees).

    Split your weight evenly between front and back foot, stack your hips directly over the board, and look slightly ahead toward where you want to go.

  2. To ride on the heel side, load your weight over the heels (right under your heels), lift your toes a touch, and lay the heel edge lightly into the turf.

    Start moving at a slow, controlled speed. Brush grabs more than snow, so think "ride on the base" rather than "set the edge hard."

  3. To begin a turn, first turn your eyes and chest (sternum) slowly toward the new direction.

    The body leads, the board follows. Don't snap the board around.

  4. Switching from heel to toe edge, briefly straighten both knees to unweight the board, and in that instant shift the pressure under your feet to the balls of your feet (base of the big toe).

    Keep the board near flat as the edge crosses from turf to turf, and tip it over slowly.

  5. Once on the toe side, weight the balls of both feet, lean your shins gently forward, and lay the toe edge in as a surface.

    Re-bend your knees so you can absorb bumps.

  6. Make the arcs even larger than on snow.

    The slower and more gradual you change the edge angle, the less the turf grabs and the better you control speed.

  7. To stop, extend a heel-edge arc up the slope and bleed speed off slowly.

    Avoid jamming the toe edge to stop fast, as it digs into the turf and pitches you forward.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Think "ride the whole base on the turf" rather than tilting the edge up high. Brush, unlike snow, won't scrub speed with a skid, so a sharply set edge bites the fibers and stops you suddenly.

COMMON MISTAKE

Turning fast like on snow → snapping the lower body around drives the edge into the turf and catches your feet → lead with the upper body (chest and eyes) and let the board follow in a slow, large arc.
