Learn how to angle take off on the waves and why it is so important for your surfing | Angle Takeoff

An angle take off is a good and simple way to start your wave off with speed to beat and get ahead of a fast section on a wave. Speed is one of the most important things you need in surfing and just by angling the board in the direction you want to go just before you stand helps to beat the wave and for it to not beat you.

I’m not too bad on my forehand, but find it a lot harder to drop in backhand and find the right line on the wave. Thanks for the vid!

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes it’s the pop up or the hands that could come off too early (or one before the other) that affects a backhand take off. Good luck 👍

@@shannonainsliesurf Cheers, it doesn’t help that where i Surf they are fast breaking lefts, so i often end up in a drop-knee position, holding the rail just to keep me on that higher line in order to stay ahead of the white wash, and keep the momentum. Probably as you say the pop-up, and my general balance on my heel side could use work. Thanks a lot.

So u sealing the deal with last angled lean paddles. Will yourself in with a body surf vibe...def will try it.

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Yes that's correct.. on some waves just to lean into the wave while on your belly to get an extra angle on the take off helps a lot. Hope it works for you.
