Now this is pucker factor. Max allowable power, yoke in the lap to help the mains, relax back pressure for tail to slightly unstick. Let it fly off when able, level off till VMC which is 76 knots (normal V1 is about 81) with a couple of skips in the puddles along the way.

A normal day at the office down there. Look familiar Leigh?
