To be clear, create a calibration system that registers the height of the hands at any given time the button is pressed to be the highest point on the mast.

Actually the issue in this case was the costume; the "head" is interpreted as the top of the surfboard, so the arms seem pretty short in comparison. It scales properly (and generally works much better) without the costume, but the costume made for a much better video
