Stall takeoff~
On a longboard, we are able to get into waves early before they break. Sometimes, to put ourselves in line with the speed of the wave as it begins to break, we can stall our takeoff/pop-up. The stall pop up has similarities to an up dog yoga pose. Sometimes you can hold up your upper body and drag one of your feet in the wave to stall before you stand up.
The stall takeoff is only applicable when there’s a slower moving wave that isn’t very steep- fast quick wave takeoffs don’t need stalls- they need get-up-and-go’s!
