Don’t use too big a sail as a bigger sail is heavier on the board and you will feel the chop more. If you have too small a fin you can get some ‘spin out’ between the chop. The best is to have a soft sail and not use too stiff a mast. That is it. I look at every piece of chop ahead of me so I am ready to react with my legs. I plot my course through the water if I can. I use my legs like the suspension on a motocross bike. You also need to see the gusts coming as well as the chop in front of you and the guys around you. If you enter a big piece of chop you need to release a little bit of power to pass through, then after that you need to put the power back on.
