be prepared to take a few dickings though because you wont get it right all the time.
be committed. paddle hard. pop as quick as possible as soon as you know the waves caught you. better to pop a little soon and git pitched standing than get pitched from lying on your board.

Otter wrote: on a late take off you should only have to paddle once or twice if you are in proper position. Sometimes you can even do a "Chicken Joe" and not paddle at all! I know it sounds incredible, but I do Chicken Joe's quite often, and I'm very fond of two paddle take offs. It's all a matter of developing your skills to reach that point. Takes time, maybe years depending on how often you get to surf.
Keep the stoke Brah, you'll get there!
