You want to learn to turnby steering the front of the board, rather
than pushing the back end around, which is what most riders that
didn't take lessons do.

Even some that have taken lessons still push the back foot around.

Additionally, when you are going straight down the flat areas, be sure
to apply a slight pressure to one edge or the other at all times to
avoid slams in those areas. If you let the board go completely flat,
it will start to skid sideways, then catch an edge.

Until you get good, then running flat is a nice way to outrun the pack.
