I’m paddling with all my strength, but the takeoff fails. What do you think is the cause?
I think Oliver’s paddling is slow in his arms. But are you paddling with all your might?

Move your arms fast when paddling for takeoff

… I put a lot of effort into my muscles to move heavy objects.
If you use your muscles to move heavy objects, your arms will slow down. The purpose of takeoff paddling is to move the surfboard as fast as possible. The key to doing this is to move your arms as fast as possible.
I found that I should move my arm fast instead of putting pressure on my arm.

I understand that take-off paddling and paddling when moving are different.
