How to Ride
1. Watch the “RipSurf Ride Guide” video on www.youtube.com.
2. When learning, ask a friend to help. Put your hand on your friend’s shoulder for stability and have them put their
hand on your shoulder as well. If you don’t have a friend available, you can try holding onto a fence.
3. Step onto the front of the RipSurf, level the deck out, and check to make sure your foot feels secure and balanced.
Your foot should go straight across the deck (perpendicular to the direction of travel).
4. When your front foot feels secure and balanced, push off (holding onto your friend) and put your back foot on the
traction pad. If you don’t feel secure and balanced, step off and start again.
5. Once you are balanced and rolling forward with both of your feet on the RipSurf, start alternating your feet
forward and backward in small motions by twisting at the waist. Your friend can help by moving along with you
until you get going. Slowly increase the size of the motions, which will increase your speed.
6. To turn, push down with the front foot in the direction you want to go. If you push the toe of your front foot down,
the RipSurf will turn toward your toe side. Alternatively, if you push the heel of your front foot down, the RipSurf
will turn toward your heel side. Lean your back foot in the opposite direction as your front foot to maintain your
balance and control the degree of the turn.
How to Stop
1. To stop, simply step off.
