Answer 1

The most important thing is to be moving at the same speed as the board...  when you step onto it, make sure your weight is over the board and that your foot is placed near the center of it.  If you're too far forward, you'll push the nose down and stop abruptly.  Try stepping onto the board near the back until you get the hang of it.  If you have any time on a wakeboard, you'll find some of the weight shift and balance is similar.  Good Luck!!!
