i do surfing.
i can't easily catch waves,
but when the strong white water pushes me, i can ride on easily.

i don't know how do i explain this situation.

i am thinking some sentences as follows,

*as the power of the white water pushes me, i can ride on the waves several times
*foaming waves makes me ride on the waves serveral times.

please teach me how shoud i say.


thanks

I don't surf, but the 'white water' is itself the surf (= the waves of the sea as they break upon a shore or reef), I believe. If it is the white tips of a turbulent ocean before it becomes a wave, they are called whitecaps.
