or you can manage your board by (as a wave breaks in front of you ) , by sitting back on the Back half of the board and trying to pop over the wave , one arm stretched over the nose to control the board. Then paddle hard to get through the sets. IMO its only effective up to 4 or 5 ft then any thing over that, check for surfers behind, bail, get low in the waterline , grab the sand if you can and pull through , ha easy.
and practice some more.
