Snow Board Problems

I am a skier and like any skier I naturally dislike snowboarders. But i am doing a school project for an engineering class and my partner is a snow boarder. We are trying to solve the problem of "Duck Walking"? or whatever is called when your on the flats and have to waddle like retarded ducks. But our teacher is making us justify that this is actually a problem. So apparently there are actually allot of borders on this site so if you read this pleas drop a comment about how it actually is a problem.
 
I always call them fish, because when they do what you describe it looks like a fish out of water.

and when you call them that it makes em think of how they call new guys in prison, fish. lol
 
The problem isn't duck walking. Duck walking is one solution to a problem. The problem has to do with gravity, momentum, inertia, all that mumbo jumbo that your teach probably wants you to talk about.

side bar, whats your beef with snowboarding? They aren't all bad.

inb4 not this thread again.
 
I agree with Saga. It has to do with the ability to maintain speed in the flats. Skiers face the same problem but have more ways to fix it as they start to slow down.
 
Don't see this as a problem because you can just unstrap and push with your free foot, similar to a push when you skateboard.
 
No I have some friends that board, its just different at small places in wisco. And ths is acualy a realy helpful reply for an engineering point of veiw. thanks
 
nahh we are looking for a soloution that doesnt get in the way. it would be a pain in this ass to try to deal with that in the park.
 
I think the op should redefine the problem to "how to travel short distance on a snowboard on a level surface"
