Riding the waves. Use the 'side slipping' technique to get on the waves. As you are speeding across the water, tilt your board sideways with your feet facing out towards the ocean. You can slow down the rate of speed loss by carefully timing the 'trimming'. When you near the wave, turn your skimboard around and ride the wave as per usual.
