Riding (waving)
Once you can get on and move like a skateboard, try the waving. While moving, tilt one foot forward and one foot back at the same time. If you find this hard, try doing it still and holding onto something.
Stopping
To stop, you just lean forward and tilt your feet forwards. Alternatively, you can just jump off.
Turning
To turn, you lean forward slightly and move your left foot a bit forward.
Sitting Down
There are two ways to sit on a waveboard.
1. Sit with your legs flat across the board.
2. Sit with your knees up. Your bottom on the back half and feet on the front.
When sitting it's best not to use your hands. If you want to go a bit slower, put your hands on the ground, but definitely WEAR GLOVES.
