Ok so heres the prob! Around here 90% of the waves have little no no roll, as in as soon as they form there crashing. And i am talking about 3-5 foot waves! So anysuggestions on how to ride these more efficiantly or even how to pop up with these!
Heres a link to my waves!!

Sounds like they would be pretty good for starting out. You don't want to be learning on green waves (ones that have not yet 'crashed'). Most beginners are told to practice in the whitewash, which in your case would be anywhere by the sound of it. But once you get a little better, you might want to surf somewhere else. There really isn't too much you can do on a broken wave.

I am way beyond white wash, but I am deffinitly not ready to drop in on anything over 5-6ft, When ts DOLLY came in we had some nice waves and I loved it but, we mostly get crashy choppy waves that I cant get well but I see other guys doing pretty well! I asked them what they did diffrent and they say nothing that they notice, and I cant tell a diffreance either. So was up wit that

A little too vague for me, maybe someone with more experience can figure this one out?

Keep going out in all conditions. Paddle around and look for the smooth places.
A lot of times, good position will make the difference in getting choppy or closed out waves and being in the face cruising down the line...
