How to Improve: Take-Off Timing
The Surf Continuum
Mariana is asking about the take-off and how to avoid the perilous situation of waves breaking directly on you. When we strip it all down, this is basically a timing question. Hopefully a few of the things I talk about in this video will help Mariana and other surfers have a better understanding of what is required to nail the timing of your take-off.
