Catching the Wave
Paddle and move forward until you’re at the wave’s speed.
Push up on the center of mass

Standing upStill consider buoyancy and
gravity and the center of mass.
Balance!Shifting weight will create a
torque and change the position of the buoyant force = r x F

Riding the wave
Once you’ve caught the wave, use the conservation of energy to liven up the rideKEbottom = KEtop+PEtop

Turning
Shift weight to the back side, board will react and roll slightly under your weight
Newton’s third lawForce of water on board’s
rear side will turn the boardBend and straighten legs to
go faster
