Ollie- By pushing down with your back foot, and bringing up your front foot, you will be able to jump into the air for a short period of time.
Shuvit- In this move, jump up into the air and just as you are jumping, spin your board around with your foot. It will take lots of practice, but you should eventually be able to land on the board riding backwards. You can do it on the waves, but it's best to start this move on the sand.
Basic Turn/Speed Run- Run to the water and get on the board as you normally would. When you reach the water make sure the nose of the skimboard is lifted, by putting pressure on your back foot. This will allow you to skim on top of the water. When you are on the top of the water, begin turning. Do this by applying pressure to the shore side rail. You may want to try a backside turn (see Skimboarding Lingo) as it will be easier.
Headstand- This move is very straight forward, a headstand on your board. You should know how to do a headstand a the floor, otherwise it will be very difficult. Make sure there are not any waves and place your head on the middle of the board, and kick up. This is very dangerous because if there are waves coming, you could possibly break your neck.
Down the line- This is when you approach the wave in one direction, and then turn off the wave in the same direction. The more parrell you are to the wave, the more speed you will have.
Aerial- This is done by jumping off the wave, and landing back onto the wave. The full board must be out of the water.
Aerial 360- While in the air, turn your board all the way around, and then land and keep riding.
