just wondering if anyone has any good ones?

If im lucky and spot the closeout i can ride over the top before it breaks, but with most of the beaches here they close out pretty quick once they go and at then your stuck inside. Anyone have any stylish or useful ways to get back through the wave and out the other side with the minimum of kuffuffle? At the moment i tend to go for the leap over the whitewater and pull the board through by the leash after which is fine in small waves but doesnt work too well in bigger waves when the whitewater is too big to jump over and often ends in a rinsing.

if your on a short board just as it breaks turn back into the wave and dive under but so your board goes with you, if you on a big board just get to the back and turn over it.
