The softer the board the easier it is. In general, a wider stance makes it easier since you have more leverage. Also, practice staying balanced with your weight shifted way back. Completely extend the front leg and completey flex the rear leg so you pull the nose of the board up toward you. Once you get the nose off the ground, you will need to ride a little counter rotated so you don`t go into a toe side turn.

Those there points, along with practice, and possibly detuning your edges, are the key ingredients.

Try keeping your weight on the uphill edge as well...
