	1. Roll 2. Strokes - initiation, power, parallel rudder, high and low brace 3. Wave reading 4. Edge control 5. Ability to change/control direction Two more I'd say just to make your bet more interesting 6. Ability to exit a wave or at least keep from side-surfing into a boardie or swimmer 7. Trimming to get into a wave, make a section, and adjusting weight to keep from pearling
