Surf / Bodyboard pop up

A very slow motion and very clear vision of the popup on a bodyboard (it is the same technique for the popup in surfing, especially on a shortboard where you can't push with your feet on the board)

Here is my comment on the video:

I choosed this video because you can clearly see what is happening with the legs.

1.keep your legs bend a little bit so you avoid your feet to slam the back of the board while popping up

2. put your hands as close to your HIPS as possible(not just under your chest).

3.rise shortly on your knees and swing your legs up under your body in a fluid motion

"I chose" :D

Wow, I've been having trouble with a short board pop up, and this comment helped me do it fluidly :)

The problem I was having was my hands weren't close to my hips enough to get enough power. Thanks.
