Level
Step 1 Challenge
Goal
Develop a good position and balance. Initiation to pressure transfer and direction change. Side slipping with one foot attached to the board for balance and speed control.

Level
Step 2 Challenge
Goal
Further development of the balanced body position. Strapping the back foot in (both standing and sitting). Control of speed while side slipping with both feet attached to the Board.
Terrain
Level
Step 3 Radical
Goal
Initiation of rotational movements in the body. Development of beginner turns on both the heel side and toe side. Controls speed (on both edges) in a sideslip by flexing the hips, knees and ankles at the end of the turn.
Terrain
Level
Step 4 Radical
Goal
