I found there was no good description on the Web of how to ride the forward railride, so wrote my own. Here's the result: http://www.knowledge.lbwindsurfing.com/longboard-freestyle/2008/longboard-freestyle-%e2%80%93-the-basic-forward-railride/ If riding the rail is easy for you, then go to the last part of the article for more interesting variations. Also, a more general article on railrides : http://www.knowledge.lbwindsurfing.com/longboard-freestyle/2007/longboard-freestyle-on-the-railride-rail-ride/ I consider this to be the definite "how-to" article on the topic (in all modesty, of course). It's old-style, but try it! (on a Go, a Kona, an old borrowed board) Take it as a challenge.
