1) Keep it flat.
2) Try riding slower with the back foot out of the straps and a more upright position for starters. Then learn to hike out as you build power and speed.

Ride it in flat water (lightwind probably). Really chopy water is not much fun on a freerace board. If you have generaly chopy water then you need more like lightwind surfboard.
