The pop-up is a critical moment in surfing, one that will often determine if you’ll be making the drop, ‎or not.‎
A reasonable pop-up will probably do the job in forgiving conditions, that is - in small A-frame waves, ‎but the real test of your pop-up is in heavy waves or tricky drops.‎
So you’re probably already familiar with the common tips, but there’s this one element that is rarely ‎mentioned, and based on our experience - it actually solves a great deal of pop-up issues.

Having hip mobility, core strength, general fitness and flexibility, and not being overweight are pretty important too let's face it.

Oh my gosh, I can’t overexaggerate with a difference just a slight twisting of the hips, putting out the right knee as made on my pop-up speed. I was always off-balance. My first popped up and now totally balanced as the wave starts. Excellent excellent advice on this video.

Hands down the best pop-up video, especially since this is the part that i've struggled with for years. Thank you for this!

I've been surfing for 45 years. Best introduction surf video I've seen. Well done to you 👏

This is the most useful pop up video I’ve seen.

@nixl3518 2 года назад

My girlfriend, then wife, a maniac surfer-girl taught, me to surf and was the first to tell me the pop-up was key, yet she never explained this method which, I recognize is done with such ease and quickness, its an innate and unconscious process in those that pick it up "from 'birth" as she did!! I was late to the scene and never got the chance to develop this skill, even though a windsurfer, sailor, scuba diver!! Now you make me want to get out there again and have another go at it!! Few recognize how demanding a sport it is!! Thanks 4 the gr8 analysis!!

@awjelfs5034 2 года назад

Iam a surfer, i have taken almost 90 degree drops and its all about your core and timing and keeping your eyes looking in the direction you want to go.

@mikecrook8434 2 года назад

It's not all "about your core and timing and keeping your eyes looking in the direction you want to go." Learning proper pop-up techniques is a highly important factor. Having super core strength and excellent timing won't likely guarantee you'll get to your feet if your pop-up technique isn't correct.

95% of pop up issues are a 'looking issue' thats a fact @@mikecrook8434

@kieranoloughlin 3 года назад

I don't think I have seen an instruction video mention the positioning of the hips before. This was useful and opens the mind to adopting a different approach to getting up on a surfboard. Personally I think they should delete the term "Pop-Up" because it is a distracting phrase that encourages a rapid, often uncontrolled rise up to a standing position on a board. This is particularly for newbies trying to develop the correct muscle memory.

I can't believe there aren't more videos out there on this! EXCELLENT! TY

@marjoriechaset9620 3 года назад

Absolutely! The single most helpful pop-up video I’ve ever encountered on the Internet. It’s amazing that at the various surf trainings none of the coaches have ever mentioned the importance of popping up to the side stance And keeping the hips lower than the head. It makes so much sense.Thank you!

@flakesophie 7 месяцев назад

Liked. Saved. Shared. Wow and thank you one million times for this high quality training!!!

@talalcockar1389 2 года назад

This makes so much sense yet haven’t heard it before. Cool video. Cheers.

@riss303 2 года назад

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you! I have been surfing for coming up to 10 years and have always struggled with going to my back knee first. This pop up video has hands down helped me overcome the hurdle that has halted my progress for years! Cannot thank you enough!!! Amazing feeling getting straight to my feet and onto the face after all these years.

@adrienlafond4703 2 года назад

Undoubtedly the Most advanced tip on popup, hands down! I'm an intermediate plus surfer, and you put words on something I struggled to notice. Good job and thank you!!

@mattsmedley 2 года назад

As a long time landlocked surfer - I usually only get out to surf 1-2x a year... this video very clearly showed me some of the problems with my pop-up - and how to fix them. Getting ready to head to Cabo in a few weeks, and this will greatly improve my "catch percentage". Thank you!

@paulgallo1260 Год назад

Outstanding job breaking down technique. The slow motion and overhead perspectives were excellent for showing details. Appreciate your efforts.

@JL-yv3qv 2 года назад

THANK YOU! This video is a major breakthrough for my pop up problems! Like others I've watched too many other videos that ignored this, and went so far as discouraging landing rear foot first followed by front foot. Landing rear foot first is the gateway to opening the hips for a proper side stance. Now I can do rear foot front foot quickly enough so the front foot only lands a fraction longer than the rear foot, and it has allowed me to easily pop up on larger waves.

@migueld997 Год назад

Thank you for the Video! I was always struggle moving my front foot, Always had to use my knee to move it near my hands positions. Now turning my waist i can do it much more easily. So far it works at home perfectly, cannot wait to surf!

@rctrix9063 2 года назад

Thank you. I have had this recurring issue for 40+ years and now I get it. Turning your back foot turns your knee away from your chest allowing room for your front foot to pass through. Brilliant!

@Coffee_Kev 2 года назад

Wow, amazing video, thanks! I've always struggled with popping up, I recently discovered it's mainly because I've always tried to pop straight up vs the more Auzzie pop up from the back foot, as I just don't have the hip flexibility to get my front foot where it needs to be without planting the back foot first (as I discovered when I started doing some yoga to try to improve flexibility) but watching this video I can see what I'm doing wrong now, I'm not rotating my hips at all, I land with my feet pointing forward, and always have a very sketchy start. I'm sure this will help! Thanks.

@betel1345 2 года назад

Yesss. Finally. Crucial advice, nicely explained

@gatesurfer 2 года назад

Yeah, I have to remind myself to do this every once in a while, especially if I haven't been out on the water. Problem is I'm old and a little heavy for the board I'm on, so it's struggle enough just to catch the wave, and I have bad knees and a bad back, so twisting like this gives me pause. But when it works, it's great, so it's good you focused in on this specific aspect of the popup.

@dfilppi 11 месяцев назад

Finally a clear explanation of the mechanics. So obvious now. Struggled getting that front foot forward without doing a handstand to get my hips out of the way. This doesn't make it "easy", but at least it makes sense unlike other videos.

@allanthompson9633 7 месяцев назад

Dear Madame, I am a beginner since 2 years so I saw many and many videos, and this summer I discover and try your method to pop up seeing the red line and the green line on your video and it is ok for me because I did not not understand why I had pain on my back and no succeeds with my pops ups. So now, no more pain on my back and many pops ups ok ( not all , I have to work like you say ) Thank you for your work. Alain from France

I know I’m 61 and it never occurred to me but just twist my hips it’s made a gigantic difference in my pop-up speed.

@ecjaye 2 года назад

Excellent video, the pop up has been killing me. Especially when you're lucky to get one wave every 30 minutes when the line up is packed out here in SoCal.

@nixl3518 2 года назад

The only way to get skilled at this in SoCal, is to go to less desirable spots where there are few people after the waves. They aren't the best waves, but you get better opportunities to hone your skills!

@danpalmer7380 Год назад

Thank you - I'm 61 and have been surfing since I was 13. Ten years ago I crushed my right (back) leg ski racing and with limited range of motion I have struggled ever since to bring that leg forward under me the way I learned. The leg hack at 2:39 has helped enormously. So grateful!

@JahCoMusic 10 месяцев назад

It is interesting that even in the video you can see that the knee drags in the water when you do that. And I’d bet that her hips are much more flexible than mine (and yours?). That means that for us that knee would be dragging in the water even more. I know I can’t lie on my stomach and bring my knee forward while having it straight out to the side rather than downward (in the water). Hip mobility seems key for this method.

@srhauck1 2 года назад

Best pop up video I’ve seen yet 👍👍

@Surfmus 2 года назад

I had an Aloha swallow tail board that I was too heavy for it. I used to oscillate my front foot on a 9-3 clockwise motion in order to properly pop up. I never saw anyone popping up like me but the drop knee body boarders. it worked well on that board. I started shaping boards for my body type. I noticed I have a pop up similar to this but my head is a bit lower. It works well for me. I also grab the rails in smaller boards and not grab the rails on bigger longer boards. I hardly miss a pop unless I'm beat down.
