Mastering the take-off: the key to surfing success

Most surfers haven’t mastered their take-off and miss waves:

  • Your timing is either too slow or too fast
  • Your feet aren’t in the right spot on the board
  • You still drop a knee
  • You pop up in two steps
  • You can’t lift your chest correctly
  • You lack physical preparation

3 800+ surfers train with us

In 4 weeks of training you will:

  • Develop an unfailing technique: one smooth, precise, effortless movement
  • Gain balance to flow perfectly into the next manoeuvre
  • Boost your fitness (and sculpt your body along the way!)
  • Level-up your surfing quickly
  • Build a routine for all your workouts

You say it best

Week 4 done, but the challenge continues!

I recommend doing it because it breaks the movement down and shows the details that make me lose balance: my eyes dropping to the board, hips too high, feet not centred… Thanks for this challenge! Motivated to keep going and progressing because I feel more endurance and arm strength.

Challenge finished… a new life begins!

Huge thanks! Beyond better fitness and an improved take-off, I’ve adopted a healthier lifestyle that helps body and mind 🙂 Can’t wait to keep going! So grateful for your dedication, tips and availability 🙏

Week 4 ✅

Week 4 done… definitely the toughest 😅… but paired with an Olala yoga session it’s perfect. Can’t wait for waves to see the progress on the board.

Day 1

Day 1 😅 My abs hurt… but it’s great and in my head I’m already in the Landes or the Basque Country. Thank you!

Take-off

Quick feedback: I’m on week 3 and it’s amazing to see my take-off progress since week 1. It’s smoother and faster!! Feet well placed… etc. Can’t wait to see the result in the water… thanks a lot for the content. I can even do diamond push-ups 😅 not pretty but they count!! 🤙

Week 3️⃣

Starting week 3 here, the sessions are getting spicy! 🥵 But it feels good! My take-off feels smoother; I should film myself to see if it’s real. Can’t wait to put it to use! 🏄🏻‍♂️

Week 3

I’m progressing slowly but surely; I doubled the first two weeks and am starting the third. I log every session and try to improve each time. It feels better and better – thanks team.

End of week 3

The left foot no longer drags 🥳 It seemed impossible but it works! Thanks for last week’s extra videos… real pro tips!!! I can even focus on other points. Huge thanks! Philippe… the speed of your push-ups 🫣

Day 2, week 1

Day 2 of week 1: first finding – wrong arm position for push-ups 😅 and I wasn’t doing the second position of the broken-down take-off 🤔😂 anyway, work to do! At least now I know where the problem comes from 😆😉
