For successful GoofBoarding, follow these rules . . .
>> Carpet is the best riding surface
>> Square up the pipe with a rail
>> Hold onto a stool (no heroics, at first)
>> Level the board out with one foot, hop up with the other foot
>> Offset feet - slightly hang over a toe, hang over a heel
>> Keep feet at a normal standing distance - no stink bug stance
>> Keep knees bent
>> Keep upper body relaxed and straight, no flailing
>> Look "down the wave" parallel to the board
>> Control the rolling motion from the ankles, not by shifting your
weight
>> Once you get the hang of it, let go of the stool
