Excellent summary by HTERVORT. I can add one other. While surfing I went vertical on a wave face and very skillfully (firmly) planted (pearled) my bow into the bottom. I'm not sure of my position during the various cartwheels and half gainers that followed but I held onto my paddle. I think my biggest problem was loose fit in the boat but it is was rigged more for touring than surfing.
