To catch a wave, the surfer lying on his board must paddle as fast as possible to exceed the speed of the wave and to be able to surf the wave.

The moment of take off is an ultra fast phase during which the surfer moves from lying on the board to the upright position to ride the wave .

You should put your hands on the board at shoulder height. Then you have to straighten your legs and take them onto the board without putting your knees on the board.
To train, lie flat on your stomach and stand up quickly without using your knees.
Repeat this movement several times and then you train while you're in the water.

The take-off time can be the most exciting and the most intense moment because it is in this very short period of time and it takes a lot of speed.
