Thank you for your comments. I guess I got the hang of it by testing the game. If you start by pressing LEFT+UP you will start ridind the wave, and then try balancing with the UP or DOWN key to gain some speed. I feel once you got the hang of it you will find it easier.
Sorry for the missing tutorial level, you're right. It's surely in our list for a next version.
