Man, I watched @1:10 in slow-mo about 20 times and it was SO dang helpful. The hamstrings and core are so important to be engaged. I'm gonna start focusing on this little (but powerful) movement!
Finally someone who pops up on the floor without the foot on the floor...so many unrealistic tutorials out there creating bad habits, the movement feels totally different. When I started to pop up on the floor like that I was thinking ''how the hell people can do that ?'' but training training training is the only answer ! Quick one though, try to land your blackfoot flat, if you land on your toe it s going to be trouble in the water. cheers !
Dude, same here. At first I was like wow it’s so easy on the ground, why can’t I do this in the water? Because we don’t use our feet in the water! Unless you’re on a log.
I started doing modified pop up burpees to strengthen my upper body, timing and foot placement. Started on the ground, moved to a 23" wide soft top board and then onto the soft top board with 2 15" innertubes underneath to dial in balance. It's all about the core and how you control it. Notice how this instructor has a very muscular upper body, you don't have to be that big but upper body strength and core control is key. Practicing pop ups on dry land is so important there just aren't enough waves to get a lot of practice in the lineup.
This is the best pop up video on TH-cam. He is so right using your toes maybe easier for the beginner, but learning to pop from knees is crucial. Especially when you come off the longboard
Thanks for the vid. Im trying to surf after 25 years. Never used to think about getting up but now Im having to practise and by the looks of it, get a whole lot fitter
Thanks so much for the video and tips! I’ve really been strengthening my core and now I’m not having any problems with scraping my knees and the full motion is getting easier
Great and totally functional tutorial. Thanks !! Based on my personal experience, try to do it on a bed/mattress or use a Knee cap to avoid abrasions. Also, arching the back a bit more makes it much easier to spring back.
@@sparkfit6 yes, basically avoid doing a straight push up. Also arching would help you see straight ahead , else you would be looking at the board during popup
Thanks for making this video. I'm land-locked and my pop ups even using feet sucked as someone who only gets to ride a handful of times a year... now I have knee pop-ups for days! Makes long board pop-ups seem like nothing now... I hope you make more content for your channel!
Awesome best pop up tutorial I've seen. I was really confused why I couldn't pop up on a shorter board after getting used to using my toes on a long board.
Great pop up tutorial and excellent technique and cues, but for the record, you are indeed putting your back foot down before front foot - just much faster so it's almost imperceivable. I think it's okay to condition your technique by starting with bringing trailing knee up first to get the feel of the motion and then just do it faster and faster.
Congrats on presenting about the best pop up video around. Slow-mo is what lacks in so many others. Great explanation of the body movement sequence too. Only one thing, should the hands be on the deck after the feet have landed?
I'm 53 trying to get into surfing......the pop up move is much harder than it seems. Staggering my hands and rotating my shoulders/hip might help, I'll find out later today.
Great video, it seems natural that the front foot will land 2nd, cause it has farther to go. So close as not to matter. This method is what you want to wind up with, so why not start with it, ya?
That's not usually too bad and is considered normal actually, some of the pros do it then they adjust the back foot once they're up. It's fine for the most part as long as it's not too far forward :)
Great video, although I do think that the commentary about pushing off of the toes is a bit dismissive . If you think of it in terms of the ombe walk up to pop up method then there’s effectively little to no difference between the shortboard/toes assisted versions. Someone on a mal or bigger can definitely use their toes in critical take offs. Having said that, as someone who learned to push off from my toes first, it did take a bit of habit breaking to move to the no toes pop up, so I agree that if someone is physically capable, learning the no toes pop up straight away is definitely the way to go!

Getting the legs forward made all the difference for me! Great video !
I wish i really wish i saw this video when i started learning last year. This is the best and right technique and explanation
Finally I was able to do pop up. It was because I was not using my torso to bring my knees up. Thanks man! Great tutorial keep them coming!
Thank you for the good work! I have realized that I need to build up more upper body and core strength after self learning surfing for 40 days.
So glad you did a slo mo bit. Great explanation ❤

Couldn't agree more.

2 15” innertubes setting is very creative! Where did you get them? Thanks!

The best one. Ty
In Bali you're never more than 1 metre from a gecko.
Solid pop up explanation, appreciated.
Great and totally functional tutorial. Thanks !!

Also, arching the back a bit more makes it much easier to spring back.
yes, i was thinking that using the back would be easier.

Thank you! Do you mean arching like a banana, ie, extending head and shoulders more upward?
@@sparkfit6 yes, basically avoid doing a straight push up. Also arching would help you see straight ahead , else you would be looking at the board during popup

Thank you. Saving your video so i can show it to my son.
Good Work - clear concise and complete........................ Well done ! One of the best executions of this technique on the net I have seen.
Awesome
Best pop up video also buying a balance board helps a lot
Can we just use a Bosu ball if we already have one?
Great instructional video!
Keep the left arm forward for rotation- great tip
Great vídeo. Thanks
Thanks for the lesson mate..

spot on brotha, thanks for posting!!!!
The example at 5:09 is what made my body get the motion. Great tutorial, thank you!
“using torso” seems to be the key.
You changed my life
Great,,,
How important is it to land with the back foot flat, instead of on the toes?
thanks so much! it's such a hard movement to do when you do this the first time! took me like 50x to get 1 (not even good one) done :) !
Any tips, finding it so hard to get the feet through.
@@yamz342According to my experience, upper body and core strength.
This is what I need. Thanks for the tutorial !

Best pop up vid 🤙🏾cheers mate..
I'm 53 trying to get into surfing......the pop up move is much harder than it seems. Staggering my hands and rotating my shoulders/hip might help, I'll find out later today.
I know how you feel, trying to surf again after 25 years, cant even get on my feet yet
Great video, it seems natural that the front foot will land 2nd, cause it has farther to go. So close as not to matter. This method is what you want to wind up with, so why not start with it, ya?
Great video...my pop up is quick however my back foot lands just in front of the tailpad.How can i resolve this issue?
That's not usually too bad and is considered normal actually, some of the pros do it then they adjust the back foot once they're up. It's fine for the most part as long as it's not too far forward :)
Beast.... Awesome teacher.
This is not easy. he has great core strength and flexible it'll take time for sure.
god i love the 21st century. Great stuff bud
I love this video but does the back foot need to be flat on the board?
Superb video man.
Is it harder for very tall guys to do this one becuase their legs are long?
Is there any training you would recommend
really good vid that bro, I literally forgot how I did it, (it was a long lay off don't ask), but yes very good
This seems to hurt my knees because they drag. Any tips
