cross stepping

Does anyone have any tips for learning to cross step?
Thanks in advance.

Try making cross-stepping a comfortable part of your movement on land. If you're only cross-stepping on a surfboard it will be awkward for your body and counter-intuitive as a way to get forward or back on your board. So, if you have to get something from your fridge, cross-step. If you have to go to the bathroom, cross-step. It will feel silly, but it will help. You can also put a 2x4 on the ground, or use a curb or low wall to help get comfortable with the balance. When it feels like second nature on land (and you're not overly focused on your feet), it will be that much easier on a board.
