What to do if the board doesn't go where you want it to? Steer it! You go "straight" when you are "perpendicular" to the wind on a beam reach course (picture in the middle).
Falling off
Now to fall-off leewards "with" the wind, route to the left to a broad reach course here, slide your back hand a bit further down the boom and slightly hold tight. Hereby, lean the rig in direction of the mast to a certain degree, as if you wanted to extend your boom towards the front that way. By doing so, weight the back foot a little bit more, and your board will already turn to leeward (left picture).
Heading up
To direct the board to windward "into" the wind, in this case to head-up to the right to an upwind course, lean the rig towards the back with the arms outstretched. Hereby also weight the back foot. To not cant over backwards, turn your hip a bit forward as a counterweight and your board pilots "into" the wind (right picture).
