I keep peddles in, rudder down but not locked, and paddle in hand. Time the set so you follow a wave in, and peddle like heck to keep the wave behind from catching up. Your rudder doesn't work in the whitewash, but I use it up until it does't work and then steer & brace using the paddle after that. Most of the time I end up dropping my legs over the side for some stability in the skinny water. I use the peddles until its too shallow to use them, and then step out.
