Generally, I try to put myself right near where the wave is going to break (perhaps 5 feet in front of it) -- and paddle like crazy from there such that I always get sucked up and over the falls.

Hopefully you can understand my explanation. When catching waves, you and the board need to face straight while paddling. But as soon as you feel the waves lift the board you then need to angel yourself and the board either to right or to the left (approx 45 degree angle) and then give another power paddle and then stand up. But you do need to stand as soon as possible.

Some people suggest to paddle at an angle. but I find the board hardly advance any further if the direction of not perpendicular to the wave.
