The way to move involves standing or kneeling on a wooden board with one foot on top and the other foot in the mud pushing the board forward. The bending motion, which causes the buttocks to lift high during sliding, is what is called "butt sliding."

The boats are typically made from pieces of wood joined together. The wood is usually from the water tamarind, oil palm, or Terminalia catappa tree because of its high durability; with proper care, they can last for 2-3 years. For convenience, people also add handrails and places to hold baskets, drinks, and even food.
