Any chance of some advice from the SUPers here who say that boards break because of being in the wrong place? My SUP's are in one piece and I want them to stay that way - can you give me (or I guess anyone) some suggestions on how to stay in the right place?

EG what is the best thing to do if a big wave breaks just infront of you with no chance of getting over it? Is it time to Eskimo roll, dive under and hope for the best, try to get the SUP above the white water or something else? Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers

my big issues is paddling out and almost, but not quite making it over a wave so it breaks on the board - I have no idea what to do in that instance. If I was windsurfing I guess I'd try to do a last minute chicken gybe try to "fling" the stuff up and through the face...
