How is it done? I want to be able to start skimming the sand and go straight into the water. I've face planted a few times because I did not have the board edged enough. I did manage to do it a few times but you really need to have a steady cross shore day (direct on shore did not work for me) and soft sand! Any other tips?

Tip the board up on the heelside edge. Having the board flat makes it stick to the sand. Riding on the edge makes it slide just fine.
