Most of the time yes. There are a few situations where you will deliberately ride counter rotated though. In general riding, try to keep the entire upper body stacked over your board and in line with it. As long as it is not overdone, you can use a bit of shoulder rotation to assist you with turn initiation. When doing this, your shoulders should not rotate past the edge of your board, so this is a subtle movement. Remember, you control the board from the waist down.
In Freestyle, there are times whn a lot of counter rotation is used to spin or manipulate the board. In the half pipe is a n example of this as the rider is preparing to leave the wall, spin and drop back in. Riding the bumps is another area where counter rotating helps the rider out.
