Wiped out one time when it was very choppy...had my head up and was looking around for it and a wave conked it on top of my head, ended up going to Urgent Care and getting several staples in my scalp.

When it comes to front-foot placement, it should land roughly where your hands are. It's just one of those happy coincidences. So, if you are familiar with your board, and know where the sweet spot for paddling is, and place your hands comfortably (I take issue with the "hands by lower rib-cage" school of thought, hands should be up by chest, you aren't pushing yourself up but pushing the board down into the wave and hopping into the space) your front foot should land roughly the same place very time.
It gets to the point that you won't even think about it.
Good luck!

But, on another note, it can't hurt to do lots of pushups until you have the upper body strength to experiment a bit.
