Onewheel WOD "Getting that Switchfoot"
"Getting that Switchfoot"
Part 1:
.1 of a mile going reverse in your regular stance
.1 going forward in your regular stance
Add .1 of a mile for every reverse movement until you achieve .5 of a mile, keeping the forward movement at .1 for each round.
Try simple turning in the reverse movement to get familiar with it.
Part 2:
100 ft. going forward in your Switchfoot stance
Add 50ft. every round till you reach 500ft. in total.
Keep practicing this routine a few days per week and you will achieve a better feel and comfort riding switch foot on your Onewheel which can translate into a transition in your surfing or snowboarding or both.

ONEWHEEL WOD "Flak Jacket"
"Flak Jacket"
The goal of this WOD is to strengthen your core which, translates into better turning capability and balance structure.
Grab a weight vest or something similar that has weight evenly disbursed on your chest and your back and not too bulky on the front. Around 20lbs. is what we are shooting for.
Pavement
Pick a route on pavement that has a decent width (3ft. or more) so you can mimic a powder day with easy flow turns.
5-7 Miles
Trail (Advanced)
This is for more of a challenging training session that will test your balance with the weight vest. Rely on your skill level to dictate the terrain, flow and speed you are choosing.
3-5 Miles
