I found last time I did the "Standard Deluxe" trick that it was too windy, and I kept getting turned around unless I pulled the back strap right up to the rig (awkward!). If you're light like me, you may find it easier to put the sail on your head like Cribby says, then sit the board right-way-up on top of your downwind shoulder (grab the foot of the sail with your downwind hand to make a cradle for the board). That way you cop less wind, and both board and sail are lifting their own weight. All you have to do is steer and walk.
Having the board inverted on top of the sail ("Super Standard Deluxe") tends to push down a bit, which is why I prefer it right way up, but try both and decide for yourself.
An alternative technique for getting to this position is to lie the rig back on top of the board, then grab the mast and windward front strap in your front hand, boom with your other hand, and then lift the whole thing up as a unit. Throw it up, and into the wind, then while it's weightless, reach your back hand under the board and grab the foot of the sail, then let go of the strap with your front hand, and swing the rig onto your head.
The board should land on your shoulder, and you'll get admiring looks from newbies who're still trying to figure out which direction the wind is blowing, and how come their sail keeps flipping over on the ground.
Hard to explain simply, but it makes a lot of sense once you've seen it done. It also works with bigger(heavier) slalom/freeride gear.
Once you've mastered that, work on the transition from "board inverted on rig on the ground" to "rig on head, board on shoulder" If you do it right, you can pick it all up off the ground, and then turn yourself around so it gybes in the air and then catch it on your head/shoulder. Nice!
