Board & Lipslides

What it is

Now we are starting to get a little bit more technical! Save yourself some confusion later on and learn the difference between boardslides and lipslides!

How to do it

1. Approach the rail the same as you would for a 5050
2. When you get on the rail use your hips to turn 90º just like on the water
3. Keep your chest up, knees bent and your weight on top of the board!
4. As you get more comfortable try shifting weight onto both the nose and tail in all board and lipslide variations!

Common problems

• I'm finding it difficult to turn just my hips. Make sure to go back and practice the powerslides using the method in our foundation modules.
• It feels like I'm going to slip out when I try to front board or back lip. Make sure to keep your knees bent and your chest up. If you break at the waist it will mke you lose balance very easily.
