Term

Pressure distribution

Where loading acts along or across the board.

GLOSSARY · Movement & mechanics

Riders shift pressure toward the nose or tail and toward the toe or heel edge to steer, press, carve or ollie. Where the pressure sits changes which part of the board bites and how it bends.

Context and distinction

Distribution is where the pressure acts; magnitude is how much there is. A rider can keep the same total load but move it from tail to nose.
