Well, aside from learning how to balnce and being coordinated, there is something called s*x wax (no, it has nothing to do with s*x), that surfers can rub over their boards to create a surface that is less slippery and creates a bit of traction.

the wax and some surfboard hav traction pads ( this is mostly for short boards)

the wax keeps you from slipping off and you can have traction pads but I think that's more for turning and stuff
