straight arms, weight on arms. pushing “board” down, under approaching wave.
bring foot to the tale.
now your front-side of your body, together with the board, will be on its way down under the wave. (back-foot will push the tale down too….)
keep your surfboard parallel to the surface, however under the wave of course.
face the surface and you will automatically come up to the surface, behind the wave… And you can start paddling!
Just trying to do it before getting in the water! (the body-position is just an approximation of how it should look like…) It’s possible to practice pretty much everywhere, so no excuses!
