I just got a superego about three weeks ago, so I am still figuring out the whole flat water thing, but the biggest problem I have is I tend to use the powerface of my blade, and end up bracing out of vertical.  So, lead with the head, swing your legs around, then as your bow gets toward the water, brace off the backface of your blade, if one the left edge, you will use the left backface, and vice versa, they just throw the bow under you, and set up for the next one.  the first time I did this it was completely by accident, so experiment a bit
