Answer 2

its not really how you jump on it its how you time it. the sequence is run drop slide. as you are droping the board you want to try to minimize the length of time it takes you to drop the board and then jump on it. When you do jump on it, the sequence is supposed to be like a skateboard. You are supposed to put your back foot down first. But the front foot has to come down as soon as the back foot touches the board. It has too be quick or you will lose your speed and wont hit the wave right. You can put both feet on at the same time but you have to run faster before putting the board down as this particular style will reduce your speed.
