frontside boardslide?

Approach the wake toeside. Let the board drift up the wake. The bigger the wake, the more energy will be there to push the board up. Staying on the wake for the slide is all about balance and weight distribution in your feet. You can move the handle back and forth a little to help you hold the position. Keep the handle at your lower back. You can also turn your wrist upside down to help you hold the position.

Getting out of the boardslide is the toughest part- you want to turn back into the flats, dont drift between the wakes.

You can practice them between the wakes or in the flats if you need a little help.

do it like a butterslide, you dont have to ollie, just drift up the wake toeside and muscle your back foot around. be careful not to catch your egde.
