When paddling out to surf, you have different choices to make. You can ditch your board, paddle over the top, dive early or try to paddle under the lip. Choosing what to do is all just a matter of experience. When paddling out, always charge straight at the wave as hard as you can. Even if you think you are going to get beat by the wave, just keep paddling straight towards the wave and when the wave is moving towards you, you will be surprised at how quickly you can get there and possible even slip right under the lip.
However, you need to get below the broken water of the wave into the calm water below and keep swimming forward. The deeper you can get under the wave, the safer you will be from the force of the breaking wave. Duck dive deep or ditch your surfboard and dive down are the best techniques when facing waves because when the wave passes over you, immediately push off with your feet and streamline your body. As soon as you break the surface, get back on your surfboard and paddle as you can.
When dropping in on a wave while surfing, always consider that where your head goes, your body follows. If you want to go down the face of the wave, you have to keep your head down, stretch your neck, put your chin near the deck of your surfboard and launch down the face of the wave s you paddle. Only when you are sure you are sliding down the face of the wave and you should slide lithely to your feet and start dealing with your bottom turn. Make sure that you know how to balance your body when you are in your board.
