You run up to the board, then you hop of your desired leg, then from the hop, you take a step, then you jump. You can choose how close you want the take off board to be to the sand. Normally, boards are either 7, 9, 11 or 13 metres away from the sand. Professionals always go off the 13m board, as that is where it is placed under many championship rules. For the hop, you must land on the foot from which you took off, and for the step, you must land on the other foot. You must take off from within the lane. You must not walk back through the sand after the jump. The jump is measured from the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of your body.

can't have your foot go over the jumping line. run, take a jump when you get to the jumping line, land on that same leg, take a step, then jump again. if your wearing spikes, they can't be to long, according to wherever your competing. in higher leagues some r that u can't wear headbands, etc. some of the rules are pretty stupid.
