How to Surf : How to Pop Up on a Surfboard

[MrRockcar]

@senseichallenge snowboard and surf? where do you live



[lenadrt88]

ninja moves!

[rico5333]

hey im 5,2 and wanted to know if a 5,5 board would be ok?

[Ksherl97]

i am 5'4 140 lbs and have been surfing for 2 years i have a 6'0 board and want to go down to a smaller board any suggestions on size and type of board and company

[humblelongboards]

@Ksherl97 Go down?..... Go up. I've been surfing for 20 years, I've had about 10 boards since i started and they got bigger every time. Longboards are the way to go brother, and the best part is when the waves are small you can still go out. I ride a 10' 1" and i'll never ride a short board again unless i move to cali. or hawaii which is never gonna happen. But it really comes down to personal choice. Peace..... and keep sufing. Cheers from Florida my friend

[SenseiChallenge]

[sydneyseahorse]

@SenseiChallenge

[leeshizzle429]

[AwesomeMB7Cowboy]

it helps to have porn on the deck because clearly all you are doing is humpin the board

[SurfTrainingSecrets]

Can we get some more videos on the pop up? ?

[superdino562]

[MrRandomppl]

you are doing too much, pop down!!!

[Lawson320]

Too slow. Do less. Now let's see you pop up! Pop up! That's not it all. Remember! Don't try to surf! Don't do it! Pop up!

[deusamigos]

@Lawson320 Pi. pipi o pi.

[adebicki]

this video helped me significantly, thanks!

[cky12qxz]

why are you guys arguing over which is better. obviously, surfing is better, but skateboarding was invented by surfers. do some research.

[VanZevenbergen]

now do it goofy foot.

[aaaaa87bn]

Hey man thanks for your comment.....and I'm going to buy my longboard :D---------See ya ......

[aaaaa87bn]

Hey Man cool video but i need help...I want to practice surf...but i dont know if i should buy longboard or short board u know......where i live the waves are not high waves...Can u help me? I hope u help me thanks :D

[gurebu75]

@aaaaa87bn

longboard, preferably spongy (it is safer for you). short boards are for a) more experienced surfers, b) larger waves. If your local surf shop has stand-up paddle board, you try to rent this out -- it has higher buoyancy and much easier to take off and keep balance. 

[dhand62362]

are you springing off your toes

[123NDay]

Check out fenix tx - surf song!

[HunterTOMB]

that was good because i have a 6ft 6 and i keep trying to bring my feet right under my arms and then standing up

[MISSsmileykabao]

gay



[claudiocorrea171]

tem um erro,nao deve colocar o pe para apoiar o pop up...usa o joelho

[Iamkayaky]

Excellent demonstration: an this guy is lightening fast. Very good film. Can a film be made while in the water? Now how long a board for somebody x pounds?

[lostboyswerd]

@Iamkayaky if your huge.. get a long board (not saying your big or anything) but for big people they also can make custom shortboards

[anurism1]

@Iamkayaky I'm 6ft, 240lbs and i surf an 8ft mini mal no problems.

[fiddletownjoel]

I think I got this. I was born with my hands close to my wrists!

[longboardGA]

@fiddletownjoel he said hands close to his ribs

[alyssa7909]

I'm a beginner and my friend is gunna let me borrow her board. It's a long board though, is that recommended for beginners?

[HarroSK8]

@alyssa7909 not really

[paulypj]

I have respect for both sports, i was making a helpful statement about having hands flat on the deck instead of on the rails

(because if your hands slip off the rails you headbut the surfboard! - aswell as not get your body high enough to pop your legs into position )

I just dont have respect for people who try to knock me down & purposely leave personal comments and insults!

Both sports have their dangers. Drowning is obviously a killer. Concrete can split your head open...just be sensible

[stewsalad]

its not as hard as i thought it was, i hired all the kit and went surfing for the day. it was awsome! Go for it!

[rstrong1]

You could watch these videos all the day, the best way to learn is get on your board, get out there and practice. The theory is simple.

[sunhineisonline]

im not a expert but maby you should go to water

[okie2339]

idk i do both surf and skate i mean they both take some balls to do

and its not about whats better .. its about the sound of the ocean in your ears

and the sound of the urban life singing to your ears and having the time of your life in that fuckn moment thats sweet!!

[jessebrade]

why are people arguing over surfing vs akateboarding.

skating was invented by surfers and is a great thing witch i have done for a long time and only just started surfing.

they are both great sports.

[manlex47]

@jessebrade skateboarding is nooooott a sport man. its a lifestyle.

[ihopthsuzrnmeisfree]

like a ninja! :P

[unknown23085]

THAT IN CALIFORNIA ENCINITAS OR DANDIEGO

[jakenbake10]

everytime i catch a wave while its breaking the front of my board goes under water like a torpedo and i face plant nomatter how far back on the board. help

[ThePeckerwood310]

@jakenbake10 how tall are you and how big is your board, if ur board is to small it will just sink. what kind of baord

[jakenbake10]

@ThePeckerwood310 no i can lay on it im like 5 9 and its one of those cost co boards ya know... but its bcuz im not standin up fast enough i think

[Lawrencewwefan]

if i can skate board will this be easy to learn cuzz on suff u fall on water in skate u fall on cmeant

[theskater1975]

i agree with the dude below me skating is not for little kids!

[ryan28829]

fuck u expert village why do u make 50 different vids u suck and i hate it

[Anearthworm]

i think surfing is way scarier than skating haha

[TheLavagreen]

im going surfing tomorrow so i hope this stuff helps

[stuboy82]

Pretty well explained, only thing I would add as you should have hands on the rails of the surfboard not flat on the surface of the board like in this vid (though bit to grab the rails on sand) though he should of explained this

[surferchamp21]

rips can be good or bad u can use them in hawii to catch the bigg waves its saves paddling

[chilebear]

nicely explained but your hands are always close to your wrists no matter where you put them,or not?

[pixelfantasizer]

He said ribs. Not wrists :)

[Lazynade]

its all the same but riptide sounds the coolest haha

[mcphantic80]

have any of u guys eva been to BONDI BEACH in sydney. Waves are brilliant but my brother got taken out by the rip tide. Luckily he didnt panic and he got out ok!

Have any of you guys ever beeen taken out by a rip tide??

[michael9678727]

No such thing as a rip tide, its just called a rip. I use rips to get out the back causes you don't as much white wash waves to slow you down.

[mcphantic80]

wateva

[iR3o]

riptide, rip current it's the same thing. Don't make such a fuss. lol

[iR3o]

That's good to hear. lol Yeah, my uncle was on a boogie board and he drifted all the way out in the deep end by a riptide. lol The lifeguard had to get him. Pretty scary, he didn't panic as well.

[akwhizzle]

awsome vid

[dukeassa]

how good should you be at swimming before doing surfing?

[EZA757]

@dukeassa, I can swim, but I used to not be able to tread water. but with a surfboard, u shouldn't have to worry about that with your leash around your ankle. But if shit happens, at least learn how to tread water. Number one rule is to NEVER panic. You'll exhaust yourself and it could end up being fatal.

[Toro76aus]

@EZA757 - it would be feircly wise to be able to tread water befor u get out surfing.

The sea can be a playground but at the same time it can be hell.

its like asking if one needs legs to go running.

if u dop go out anyway, go with some mates so u can all watch eachothers backs'

[EZA757]

@Toro76aus i almost drowned at Sandy Beach in Hawaii. Those shore breaks are NO JOKE.

[timmyfasho]

pussy

[EZA757]

@timmyfasho, how so?

[timmyfasho]

haha i was jk and being a dick, i know hawaii in the winter can be some rough shit

[EZA757]

@timmyfasho, yeah you aint liein'. I admit, I couldn't tread water at first. That's what scared me to the most.

[CannedKoolaid]

pretty good. u have to paddle hardcore and its a bitch haha

[Patternpop]

@dukeassa very good for the waves.

[IAmTheForeigneeer]

@dukeassa

be able to keep yourself afloat basically and do the doggy paddle, dnt have to be very good swimmer but i suppose it helps

[lordlane4]

@dukeassa are you kidding me? if you cant swim get out of the water

[dukeassa]

@lordlane4 who says i can't? u comment only to be a jerk? read the question again.

[starshock01]

@dukeassa good enough not to drown?

[18joe2]

@dukeassa id say a few laps of the pool just enough so your comfortable with it also try jumping off the diving boards because if you come off you may have to spend a small amount of time under the water you cant panic you need patience.

[ARMYSTRENGTHxbl]

@dukeassa dont gotta be the best you can use your board to float

[rndmusrnm]

@dukeassa past the drowning stage.

[danconia3873]

@dukeassa Pretty darned good. The first few times you go surfing your shoulders will get a very heavy workout but don't let it deter you, your body will adapt with time.

Wiping out and getting tossed around by waves can create some very hair-raising experiences so you'll want to be good at swimming and perhaps more importantly know how to hold your breath and orient yourself while under water.

[dontdareforget123]

@dukeassa pretty good.

[evildude7474]

@dukeassa I personally would recommend that you are a confident swimmer because you may become stuck in a rip and have to swim out, plus deep water is bad for someone unable to swim well. Surf well Bud

[orlyrabbit]

@dukeassa You should be a strong swimmer. The general rule of thumb is, if you can't handle the conditions without your board, you shouldn't be surfing.

[CockyR4]

@orlyrabbit When I took my sufr lessons I didnt have no experience what so ever on the sea, I've never swim and it went kind of good...

[zetakong]

only you can define your own comfort levels of swimming and surfing.

your asking how good should you be at walking before you jog

dont be a dumbass

[nath27100]

dogi paddle and a bit of freesti

[Plemons94]

@dukeassa funny shit bro

you are aware you are in the water therefore know how to swim herp derp

[Alex29Black]

@dukeassa u dont need to be good at swimming because im level 6 in swimming lessons but im the best in my state at surfing

[FIREFOX274]

@dukeassa good enough not to drown

[ExposedD3ath]

@dukeassa if this is a serious question u gotta be pretty good rip tides can get pretty bad so yeah

[TheFlimOfFlam]

@dukeassa good as fuck(;

[HigherPlanes]

@dukeassa lmao

[javaleira]

when im padling into a wave and i start riding it the nose of the board enters the water before i pop up? why? im sure im not leaning too foward cause when i padle the nose is leaning up a little---

[joaomiguelrod]

it enters water cuse wave rolls on u and ur surfboard falls in to water if ur starter u should get white waves

[patmajej43]

i no how to do this ive been surfing for a while but when i pop up alot of times my feet are right next to eachother and i wipe out

[Voileen]

I knee up too . . . but that's because I have a bad hip.

[surfdocer]

No matter how much I practice I still knee up. It's probably because I started surfing so late in life.(50s). Anyway, I still have fun.

[paulypj]

least i dont have just 1 friend on here

[lluvsk8in]

as if it matters...?

this is the internet dude...the amount of friends you have on here doesnt matter...

[metalschooldrill]

Why? 10 year old skater

[paulypj]

10 year old?? WTF

get a life

[metalschooldrill]

I see you skate streetstyle. That's neat but it may be distracting you from skating transitions. The San Jose skatepark is what is seriously missing down here in SoCal. A 10 year old is now out-ripping you in the public parks but the good ones, not those crappy parks. SHHH, its like a secret. Short kids learn faster cuz theyre lower to the ground. Adults tend to have inhibititions that some kids get. It's easy but yet some just put it off. It blows away SoCal surfing 99.95% of the time. punk

[vovosquirrel397]

Your hands are supposed to be on the rail dumbass, Expert Village has shit information.

[paulypj]

Wrong, your hand DO NOT go on the rails during a 'pop-up'....if thats what your doing, your doing it wrong!

Your hands must been close to your chest, so when pushing up on your arms there is more height, and the board will also be more stable during the move (rather than tilt the board)

[fearthisironworker]

surfers get more respect then skaters so shut up. anyone can skate shit i was a skater, skate boarding is for little kids everyone grows out of it. one day your balls will drop and u will to

[paulypj]

i have been skating for 16 years and surfing for the past 5.

and im not after your respect.

You must be pretty narrow minded, and immature to really believe that skating is for little kids.

I expect you couldnt handle falling off a skateboard and therefore wanted a softer landing!

Maybe you should focus on your own life...

[iloveasiangirls420]

yeah tell that asshole off he doesnt know shit if he thinks little kids would rather bail on a 10 stair and hit concrete rather than fall in water.

[golang1]

@paulypj u can still wipe out pretty hard surfin tho

[robinett11]

@paulypj the pavement to me now feels like a fucking pillow now lol

[Rapidashforever101]

@paulypj Have some respect!

[99Gnal]

@paulypj More people have probably lost their lives surfing though... just sayin.

[jerseyRJ]

@paulypj not gonna lie bro.... thats one reason why i love surfin more than skatin cause gettin hit in the shins with a skateboard hurts like a mother lmao

[d0wnto3arthshuffl3r]

@paulypj bro i love skating =] especialy longboarding =]

[Panino4life]

@fearthisironworker hahahaha bullshit...

if u walk up to anyone one on the street 9 times out of 10 if you ask them

"Who is a famous skateboarder"

they'll name someone.

"Who is a famous surfer"

i highly doubt anyone will know one. so fuck off

[iamismehellyeah]

@Panino4life

@Panino4life

so you wanted to say that, something being mainstream and popular equals to being better?

you poor sheep

[Panino4life]

@iamismehellyeah no but he said that surfers get more recognition than skaters..

which is false

you fuckwad

[iamismehellyeah]

@Panino4life

i don't care what he said, i replied to you didn't i?

[Panino4life]

@iamismehellyeah yeah... but i replied to him, so fuck off and mind your own goddamn business..

i was explaining myself asshole.

[iamismehellyeah]

@Panino4life

yeah i know i read both of yourstatements and thought tbhat you were the bigger idiot. and i can reply to whomever i want, this is youtube/internet

so get of the fucking computer nerd!

[possiblylost]

hahahaaa

[CarSurfingKoika]

thats the smoothest pop ive seen on youtube.

Good Work. Good technique.
