The area you choose for sand skimming must have a good sand consistency with some water on top. Shoot for ideally about 1/4" of water. Avoid mushy, sticky and rocky sand as it can affect your practice and make it difficult. It's also good to find a beach that has a slope to it -- this will help immensely.
The faster you run, the quicker you will go on your board and further your slide. Run right behind the board before heading on to the next step. Try to really gain some momentum. Wait until after the shore break.
Holding on to the board with one hand at each end, drop your board flat onto the sand when the wave starts to reach the wet sand (some experts describe this as the "white bubbles" of the wave).
Step on the board, as you do when you are sliding on the hardwood floor with your socks! Step lightly with the non-dominant foot in front of the middle of the board, with your feet turned a bit sideways. Do your best to maintain your balance, while maintaining the positions of both your front foot and back foot.
Find an open area of water with few people nearby.
Apply the leash to either right or left wrist.
Enter into the ocean about waist deep or where the waves are breaking.
Lie on the bodyboard with your chest positioned in the upper second half of the board.
Hold onto the nose of the board and kick with your feet when the wave starts to get steep.
Now riding the wave. Aim the board towards the beach and enjoy the ride.
