Slag is like gravel, it's a light weight stone-like thing which is a by-product of making steel. They use it in concrete blocks and a few other items.
You tend to sink into it fast unless you keep moving, at some point you have to jump out of it, and then you just slide down at incredible speeds. No boards needed, just flat bottom Chuck Taylor Converse basketball shoes.
It's sort of like sand surfing. It's more dangerous than that, urban legend (a mother's worries) says children have been buried alive by the falling slag.

I have tried a little body surfing in the Great lakes, best tried between the ages of 13-16.
