bend your knees to absorb the change of surface under your board. I heard its like going from normal ground to ice and we all know what that could result in

Its not really like going to ice because you are going up so the slide is a little slower. Sliding downward is more like ice because the boat is puling you forward and your going down on this piece of glide tech and its crazy. Yea but really main key points are bend your knees. Maybe put a little more weight on your heels because you dont want your front edge to dig into the slider and knock your face on the upslope. Lean back a little more than usual. If you begin moving to one side or the other put more weight on the opposite foot and your board should slide back to the middle.
