Technical

• Control the relationship of the center of mass to the base of support to direct pressure along the length of the board
• Control the relationship of the center of mass to the base of support to direct pressure along the width of the board
• Control the magnitude of pressure created through the board/surface interaction
• Control the board's pivot through flexion/extension and rotation of the body
• Control the board's tilt through a combination of inclination and angulation
• Control torsional flex (twist) of the board using flexion/extension and rotation of the body

People

• Develop relationships based on trust
• Engage in meaningful two-way communication
• Identify, understand, and manage your emotions and actions
• Recognize and influence the behaviors, motivations, and emotions of others

Teaching

• Collaborate on long-term goals and short-term objectives
• Manage information, activities, terrain selection, and pacing
• Promote play, experimentation, and exploration
• Facilitate the learner's ability to reflect upon experiences and sensations
• Adapt to the changing needs of the learner
• Manage emotional and physical risk

Professional Knowledge

• Convey and apply accurate technical information
• Observe, evaluate, and prescribe (through movement analysis)
