Pretty simple practice that overloads the legs.
While it starts easy, holding the board correctly makes this a pretty tough set to improve the kick. "Tombstone" drill is when you hold the board, half in and half out of the water, in a vertical position... pushing the board through the water. The rounded edge of the kickboard sticking out of the water, looks a bit like an old fashioned tombstone.
