I guess it's safer to have spam musubi at the beach than to be in the water

So you need to be slightly closer to the beach when the wave catches you ie the wave is slightly more curved (a 'later drop' in the parlance). This is likely either due to you sitting too far back before you start or not being at the right speed when the wave reaches you (paddling) and being sucked up the face a little bit.
It seems easier to sit further back and paddle onto the wave, but if you are too high up the face when it catches you then that is actually bad.

Also, "sit further back" means my position on the board? Thankyou!!
