Sorry for what I'm about to say, but for beginners, I strongly advise against exercising with the indo board. Popup is a muscle memory movement and with your movement with the indo board, the feet will always end up in the wrong place.
There is one very very important part of the pop up Nobody mentioned and that is the length of your arms,bcs when you got longer arms is easier to get your foot on front
The only problem I see with using the Indo board is that your feet are pointed at the "nose" of the board at the end of the pop-up and not to one side of the board or the other (regular or goofy), which would give you optimum balance on a surfboard. I'd be concerned about creating a muscle memory that I'd have to eventually undo.
Your 100% correct! ! this is not the ideal framework or platform to build the muscle memory for your ideal pop-up stance . . The end result will be you developing a bad habit that you will have to deal with which will slow you down in catching your next wave. .🌊
So I see your pop ups consist of pushing up while your feet/toes push into the ground. Am I correct in saying that would only work on a longboard. Wouldn't a 6 foot board be too short for a 6 foot guy to have His feet on the back of the board when popping up?
Very cool, I bought an Indo today after watching this vid weeks ago, pretty cool way to practice pop ups. Also a pretty good shelter in place activity.
Cool, is it a coincidence that I bought a battle rope and a Balance board at the same time?!! Looking forward to trying your balance board and battle rope combo!
Thanks for this Video, been looking at ways to exercise on Indo board during lockdown, nailed the pop up one fist go buy my pop up in the ocean not great 🤔 I wouldn’t pop up with my feet parallel? I’m guessing this focuses on the strength element (which I have) but I think I have a bad habit technique. Pop my back knee down but I am up and riding the green waves and I’m relatively fast. Enjoying your challenges, thanks ☺️
Thanks stoked - I'm going to make myself an indo board soon to add these to my pop up practice - I also do a few minutes of surf visualization while working on pop ups each day. only been a few weeks and I feel so much more confident!
