Keep your weight centered and lean slightly forward. Start slow and just get the board on the obstacle to practice the balance... working up to small slides. There are lots of videos online with tips. Here’s one - [VIDEO]

Honestly I can’t recall being able to pull this off with any consistency before I stopped. I’d say probably less than 10 times ever. I watched this video [VIDEO] a few times beforehand and it made sense haha I thought the same thing about falling off instantly but first time I bailed I realised I had a lot more control than expected and basically just jumped off. The fear of falling goes pretty quickly after that.
