    I'd say watch the movements of how skateboarders do it on quarter pipes, that helps a ton if you bring that style over.
    And you don't necessarily have to come off the wave right when it's peaking but it certainly helps.
    It also depends on wave speed and height and angle but more or less try to lean back more as you're popping and don't go out the back with it, then just kind of whip it around and ride away like a baller.
    The J-Gordon Retro Fish is the nicest board I've ever ridden.

    go at more of a parallel angle to the wave and push forward off the wave aiming back into the face of it, instead of just ollying out the back.
    it's not the board, it's the rider

    Start trying without getting gnarly airs. The gnarlier your air, the more difficult it will be to land and make something out of it.
