Practice late take off’sRod Rodgers
If you have experience riding foot boards or kneeboards, you can practice the tail dip and powered takeoff, using arms and swim fins to the extent needed. Being a heavy board, if solid wood, it might take more strokes to build up paddling speed just like a longboard.

Different waves require approaches. Nothing beats spending hours in the water. Look for a launching pad for takeoffs
Damian Coase
Good swim fins make a big difference to some.

Shoulder takeoff is best… Peak breaks will best be underwater takeoff with a quick flex angle slightly hugging the wave shoulder. Barrel ride> to be continued
