Check out this YouTube video if you are a beginner and trying to figure out how take-offs are accomplished.  The guy here does it with a parallel stance but then quickly hops to surfer stance.  It’s very instructive to see it actually done.  To make it EZ for you, here’s where the good stuff is: 12 seconds in, 2min40sec, 3min20sec and 3min45sec.  Hit the Play button, then hit the Pause button, then read around this site while the video loads, then use the video scroll bar to navigate to the right time.  Cool.  Also, at 3min, there’s a nice little pole-plant cutback.  Sweet!
