Takeoff

Takeoff is dry-land surf training for a faster, cleaner pop-up. Your phone becomes a takeoff coach: lie down, hear “UP!”, and pop up. Takeoff uses your camera and on-device body tracking to time reaction and pop-up speed — so every rep is measured, not guessed. No waves. No board required. Just a little floor space and ten minutes a day. WHAT YOU GET • Camera-timed pop-ups Practice takeoffs anytime. Takeoff tracks reaction start, first movement, and when you’re on your feet — then shows your best total time. • 30-day guided plan Mobility, hips, core, strength, and explosive drills built around your baseline. Each day ends with a timed pop-up set so progress is obvious. • Session history & review Replay your best rep, scrub the timeline, and compare takeoffs as you get faster. • Sound cue + haptics An audible “UP!” and optional vibration keep cues sharp and consistent. • Private by design Video is processed on your device and never uploaded. Your training stays on your phone. WHO IT’S FOR Beginners learning a clean pop-up, intermediates chasing a snappier takeoff, and anyone who wants measurable dry-land practice between sessions in the water. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your baseline — a short timed pop-up session 2. Follow the daily plan (~10 minutes) 3. Finish with timed takeoffs and watch your times drop Day 1 of the plan is free. Unlock the full 30-day program with Takeoff Pro.
