Which way is the block oriented? Length of block along the line of the spine, or perpendicular? Also which sides of the block are on the floor/your back?

The block should be perpendicular so it is not along the spine. Instead, you can bet both shoulder blades on it. And, I use the low side of the block, meaning at its lowest height. It's really simple stretch and should open up the front of your chest.

It should open up your pecs

Do this on non-surfing days. After two weeks I can definitely can feel a huge difference in how loose my arms and legs are.

I've been doing DDP Yoga for about 4 months now. It helps immensely. Sure, it isn't paddling or surfing. But both have improved since I've been doing it. Snowboarding too.
