I want to try that one, it looks like a lot of fun. Or you could lineup better

Certainly, I use the tiller. Using a tiller for the first time takes a bit of getting used to, because when you move the tiller to the left, you turn to the right; move the tiller right, and you turn left.

Or seriously if you watch the end of that no paddle takeoff video the surfer (Wingnut?) paddles at and angle out to the break with the board facing right parallel to the breaking part of the wave. The wave pushes the nose down the wave and the surfer pops up. I wonder how big of a board you need to do that? I may try that on my funboards. That looks awesomely fun.

I see the OP question as how to do the opposite. I think he wants to turn towards the beach to let the board plane downwards, not be "High and Tight" to the wall of the wave.
