Not quite -
Push the nose of the board down and sink the board. Then put your foot (sometimes you can get away with knee) on the tail of the board and try to get as much of you out of the water as you can. The board will sink. Follow it. Then - and this is the critical moment - push the board forward (still with your arms extended) and then kinda pivot it around the foot, so it goes down and then up behind the wave. As it comes up you'll want to bend your arms to get close to the board.
Easy. Or not.
