I take it this is done with the rudder up and mirage drive lock in the up position. (if you have a Hobie)

Have an outback. Rudder and drive up using paddle to keep bow into the waves. Nice thing is that if a big wave approaches, you just paddle into it. Once it has passed, continue back paddling. Once out of the break zone(do not hang there), the surge and back paddling will get you home. Today was a good test and it worked. Try it on small days to get confidence. Good luck.
