Yeah, you misinterpreted me. I didn't mean that just hitting something makes it fly up horizontally. I meant that if you simply stand on the tail of a board the nose points up and the whole board will fly upwards, like a seesaw. This is how you pick up your board if you're cool, stamp on the tail and it jumps into your hand.
