How to Handplane

"Once you are in the water, your best position to start to catch a wave is one where your feet are on the ground.  This is especially true if you're trying to catch waves in the shore break and the waves are on the small side.  A push off the bottom will give you some extra speed to help you catch a ride.  Try to catch the wave just before it breaks, and keep your hand attached to the handboard outstretched in front of you as you move forward, while paddling quickly with your free hand."
