HOW TO; ANGLED TAKEOFF SURFING
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Angling your take off allows a surfer to drop in on waves that are steep. Popping Up with a slight angle will help you get the momentum you need to ride on the wave’s face, to either go right or left.
HOW TO ANGLE YOUR TAKE OFF
Step 1: Choose which way you are going to go - left or right.
Step 2: When you see the wave approaching, paddle into the best position for your take off.
Step 3: Get your board speed up by paddling perpendicular to the beach.
Step 4: In the last 3 strokes start to angle your board to where you want to go.
Step 5: Use the nose of the board as your guide and begin to mentally draw your line down the wave.
Step 6: As you prepare to pop up look in the direction of where you want to go.
Step 7: Place both hands on the deck and open both your shoulders.
Pro tip: Sometimes your outside hand is a little further up the board then your inside hand.
Step 8: Apply more pressure to your inside rail to help angle your board
Step 9: As you lift your chest up, bring your legs through. Place your back leg first on the tail pad and follow through with your front foot.
Step 10: Back foot 90-degree and front foo45-degree angle on the deck of your board.
Step 11: Keep your knees slightly bent and arms close to your body.
Step 12: Surf in the middle of the wave face. Draw an imaginary line that goes down the middle of the wave face.
Pro tip: If you feel like the wave is getting away from you, place your chin towards the board. This will give you extra paddle power and help title the board down the face.
MISTAKES
X If you paddle too much on an angle, you are going to come off the shoulder.
X Angle too little and you'll drop straight down the wave and end up back in the white water.
X Don't paddle into the wave and then begin to angle your board. The board won't start turning until you start moving.
X Just leaning on the rails as you drop down the face won't be enough to angle your board. Those last three paddles really help to encourage your board and body on the angle you wish to take on the shoulder.
X Planning to go down the “middle” of the height of the shoulder is only an indicator. In reality, you will want to draw your line a bit higher than the middle of the wave’s shoulder is breaking fast, and a bit lower when it’s breaking slowly.
X You might be surfing lower on the face than you think you are. Take note that most beginners think they are surfing higher on the wave than they actually are. The idea is to see yourself surfing for pictures and video to verify where you draw your lines.
X If your feet aren't in the correct position your board will go in a different way to where your body is pointing.
X Looking down at your feet as you pop. There is a saying…”If you look down, you go down”. So look at the direction where you want your board to go.
X Arching you back too much. Your momentum needs to be moving forward. If you arch your back too much you are going to disrupt your forward motion.

Honestly I’ve watched so many videos on how to take off but yours is detailed and helped me understanding how to angle my board
Thanks
That's so cool. Thanks for the feedback!
great video thanks. you may want to redo the audio?
It s not about the Take Off. It s about the duck dive
Loved the video. I'd like to know more about the role of the knees, hips and chest on the angling pressure. Which pressure points do you use besides your hands? Thanks.
You want overall weight distribution to be on the inside rail. Your hip bones would be another pressure point
Great video and tips mate!!! This channel is of huge help to incrise my surf!!! Aloha
Thanks Cedrick, happy to be able to help you ⚡️
I am building a takeoff balance board to practice these "sequence" right. I call it three point transition toy. Angling by pressing right and bringing back foot and land it 90 and bring front foot and land it and keep the angle right and release hands especially right hand later for angling. The key is to land the back foot on a bull's eye to use legs as extensions of arms. I call it crawling practice. ;)
Sounds epic!
@@surfhub_membership Faster and more stable you get on, the more you can ride. Dry land practice allows more time for manuevers.
He takes his eye off the line to avoid the girl coming up the face of the wave.
1. Beginners don't know when to go left or right. It would have been good to explain when to go left or right.
Yeah true...I guess this is for a more intermediate - advance surfer. I'll make another video for the beginner surfer transitioning to surfing green waves. Thanks heaps for the feedback!
Thank you so much for this! Question: when taking the drop, should I apply pressure on my back foot?
Most of your weight needs to be on your front foot. With 100% commitment. I not sure if you skate? but it's the same as dropping into a mini ramp, same weight distribution applies.
one thing that i forgot after not surfing for a year was leaning in and really committing. if you lean back at all youre going over the falls lmao
So true. Commitment is huge on your take off and will totally set you up for the rest of your wave. However, most surfers see the drop and pull back. Fear takes over, and then your left in the half way zone. And, like you said . over the falls you go...
You said he was going left but he went right
Hello I’m just wondering does the angle take offs help with nosedives.
No. You nose dive for two reasons: 1. Body positioning 2. Paddle speed. Angle take off is for you to begin to draw your line as you pop up on a unbroken wave. Hope this helps 🤙
Do you think it’s more paddle speed based or body positioning.
@@chris.mcdddd Paddle speed is the biggest factor
I dont understand of you hace to change the way of the Board of paddle straight.
Hey Tiago, not too sure of the question here...?
@@surfhub_membership i mean how do you know the angle of the take off
He went right though?
Yes, he chose well...
But the video says he's going left lol
@@alicealvarez874 yeah that's exactly my point lol
