With my first board, the "monster", I used to jump off (kneeling position) work my way to the tail, then raise it with both hands to get the nose under the incoming white water. This was the only way with the 20+ footers. Just finished the following, you may get a kick out of it. http://www.ljhs52.com/Story_5.html Enjoyed your write up.

I actually was made fun of for diving under waves leaving the board to trail behind, now I will utilize this as needed knowing it's an actual technique. Want to move to a shorter board, but love the longboard so much, just gotta be tough to get the big boy out there sometimes, but when it's smaller my buddies are always asking, let me get a ride on that thing. How come they never ask when I"m getting worked all day? That's when I would say, sure!
