Surfing With Grant

If you ever see me in the water, party waves are not just welcome they are expected (unless I’m in a proper barrel) COLBY PAINE doing just that

How to take off on a steep wave that’s going to barrel! It’s not just about a fast pop up, it’s equally important how you finish it! Save this so you remember

May your quest for an epic barrel be a huge success!

How she finishes the popup makes the world of difference!

What if I told you I have been working hard to perfect exact how to train for takeoffs like this and in about a month I am going to share it right here with you all?

It’s something I have worked hard on in my own surfing and been rewarded with some insane barrels the last few years.

Be sure to be following so you dont miss it when it drops

If you want to get your first or just a really good barrel, the wave has to be sucky and therefore it’s most likely going to be a very steep or late takeoff. In order to takeoff on such a wave this technique shown is what I would call the Gold standard. Pair that with position in deep and under it or behind the barrel section, picking the right wave and then adding this technique and you are 90% home and hosed to getting into the cone zone. save this post for later so you don’t lose it when you need it and send to your friend who’s on the same barrel quest.

To get a good barrel, chances are the takeoff is going to be steep and you will need to know this so be sure to save this reel so you know what to do when the time comes!
