  • this one way great, usually have problem with the pop up, will try the others when I have learnt this one. Thanks for the slow motion

  • Eu penso que as mãos são aprovadas, ele trabalham. que você pensa é errado?

  • e quanto aos joelhos, para que enssinar maus habitos para depois corrigir?

  • Alguns povos não têm a força ou a flexibilidade fazer ' o PNF up' isso é porque há umas alternativas. Os joelhos são apenas começ povos começados. Não é ideal!

  • Não há nenhuma maneira errada ou direita realmente. O problema com pé traseiro primeiro é que pode o fazer põr sobre os freios quando você começa. É o melhor fazer ao mesmo tempo ambos. Pesaroso sobre meu português Theonlinesurfschool

  • It would be good to work on your technique to really try to get your front foot on the board first. If you back foot goes up 1st (even like on the aussie sprinter technique) it puts the brakes on slightly when you are taking off on a wave so it is not ideal. Practice on the floor behind closed doors and you will get it wired soon enough. def. try the Pop Up technique as your no 1 goal - the other 2 are there only if you really struggle with it.

    Good luck

  • On the "pop-up" here's the problem with us newbies. During the split second action this is what we see. We see two hands down, but two feet "flying" in the air. That's the problem. We think it's a quick jump. That's physically impossible. Here's the reality. First, two hands and two feet are down. Then "quickly" one feet is up and sliding forward while two hands + one feet is down. That lead feet has to leave the ground first. It's so "natural" for you guys, you don't even know it.

  • Estás a por as mãos mal .

  • the aussie sprint :D so easy haha, but when you legs slips it hurts :(

  • Very good, I have never seen the "Ozzy sprint" done before, even though that is what I use myself lol. Guess I am not that unique after all :D

  • i have seen so many bad instructional videos, thank you so much for making one that is actually fun and helpful :D

  • @trexinvert

    thank you! wondering why I couldnt do it!

  • @homelessduck93 thanks.!

  • @surfsup1552 don't rush it. you dont really have to pop up as it makes the movement seem like it needs to be done quick. it's more of a step up with you first foot.

  • yer. that all works on a 7ft board but when you on a 6ft board or bellow you are not able to use your toes to pop up so how do you do it in one movment then. I can do it on the floor straight of my knees but asoon as i am in the water i just can not do it.? do you have any tips.............? thanksss alot.

  • Really good video, one of the best on pop ups i've seen.

    Do you have a video on shortboard pop ups?

    I've recently got a shortboard and obviously with my toes off the back i cant use them to swing my lower body up. I've seen some vids that say you use your upper body strength ONLY, but that doesnt make sense to me. I'm springing off my knees, imagine 0:49 except using hands and knees to get up not hands and toes. I cant seem to spring high enough this way. Any help?
