Turning
Start with your board perpendicular to (that is, horizontal across) the slope and then apply less and less pressure to the edge and see what happens. The leading foot tends to go downhill. If you stay in this position, with the lead foot downhill and the board parallel with the slope, you’ll go fast. To turn, start digging the heels in - the desired result is a heelside turn. If you had dug your toes in instead, you would have turned toeside. There is a crucial point that comes when the nose of your board is pointed directly downhill - wait until you are in this position BEFORE digging in the edge. Always look in the direction where you want to go. You have a tendency to go where you are looking because your head is followed by your shoulders/upper body and then by your hips.

This begins the weight transition. It may help to stick your arm or hand out in the direction you want to go. This will help get your shoulder to turn. Avoid looking at the ground right in front of you, especially when you are toeside. Instead, when you are toeside, look over your shoulder in the direction you think you want to turn. When you want to actually turn, let your shoulder follow your head. Your hips and feet will follow.

A problem many people have is they successfully complete the turn, but the board keeps turning and they end up backwards. This comes from correctly applying pressure to the front foot, but failing to follow with enough pressure to the back foot. As a result the back edge does not dig in and you continue around.
