Toes on the nose

I tried riding with my toes hanging off the tip of my Phase Five Prop today. I started to inch my front foot forward but once I left the traction pad my foot slid too quick. It slid all the way off the tip and my whole body went over the nose. Can anyone help with this trick?

Hey Sue,
Move the back foot slightly forward and place most of your weight on the back foot. Moving the back foot forward keeps you from slowing down when you place the weight on that foot. Slowly move the front foot to the nose. If you gain speed put your hand in the water to slow you down so you don't run into the boat.

Thanks Dennis,
I will give it another try. I had my back foot all the way against the lip on the back pad. I had to really stretch to get my front foot forward. I like the hand in the water idea to slow down.
