Something I realized that helped me out a lot is waiting when you're on the inside with a set dumping on my head. I'll just sit around, duckdive the incoming white wash, and then paddle out easily without huffing and puffing. Another thing that I noticed is I need to build up a rhythm with my strokes, or I won't be going anywhere. Whenever I'm duckdiving a couple of waves, I sometimes feel like I'm moving backwards from the remaining whitewash, and unless I overcome that slight pull with my forward rhythm, I'm not going anywhere lol.
