Hi! my name is Brandon and I work at BC Surf-n-Sport here in Coral Springs, Florida. You can find us on the web at www.bcsurf.com. Today I am going to elaborate a little bit more on pushing and to go towards the turning. You have already learned how to push, if you remember it, just make sure your front foot is always over your bolts and your back foot more towards the back wheel and you give slightly kick, a soft push to get used to it and once you get a little bit better out of it, you want to take more pushes to get used to it and then when you start getting it a little bit more used to pushing you want to learn how to turn. Basically all you have to do is just lean your weights to one side of the board and the board will do the rest for you like this. You start leaning your weight a little bit forward and you notice I am turning a little bit, not a sharp turn, it is a little bit of a turn. You can also do it for this way, to go backwards and that's basically how you start to learn how to turn.
