Since I SUP, the 3 main questions I got asked are

“where do you get the board”: that’s a secret
“where do you store the board” : that’s another secret
“how do you go through the breaking waves” : here we go !

The keys to go through the breaking waves is lot of speed and lot of self confidence, just think : “I gonna make it” , and even if you don’t, it was fun to try !
So just go as fast as possible, straight to the wave, and just before to reach it put your feet in the “surfing stance”, take a powerfull stroke with the paddle deep in the water, a deep breath and push the board (and yourself) over the foam using your paddle to keep the balance ; even if you don’t make it, at least you won’t get dragged as much as if you jump off the board

Here’s a video of a failed attempt :

And here’s the picture of the “jump off and hold your breath” technique for bigger waves :
