Thank you for the video- after past failed attempts I practiced your instructions in Ohio then surfed again with our daughter in Bolinas, California and caught my first wave at 69 years old. I also had help from instructors Nick and Mia in Bolinas.Thank you again- Matt McCarty

Lol. This is actually one of the most coherent and useful tutorials on this topic. I have been surfing for nearly 50 years constantly and for the last 20 of those have really struggled at nailing it. I was a pretty useful surfer back in the day on the twin fins. I have always been of the hold the rails and pop both feet at the same time...Now all that does is brings both feet about a foot apart in the middle of the board. So have taken fins out of one of my boards and to wifes horror brought it inside to relearn how a 63 year old should do it. ha. Still ride short boards and realise if I want to keep enjoying my surfs more I will need to relearn! Fine when I'm up and on the rare occasion when feet land correctly. Cheers. Good stuff!

[Josue.Vargas]

[brooow]

[StokedForTravel]

By far one of the best pop tutorials I’ve seen - simple, easy to follow and to the point 🤙

[brettvanrooyen]

Out of all the tutorials I have watched, this is by far the best one and very well explained. thanks

[potatius]

So I didn't surf in a few years and was horrified by how bad my pop up became. This tutorial and filming myself on land helped out a bunch. Thank you.

Was looking for a good pop up video for a shortboard, without using your toes, forever. By far the best breakdown from u guys, thanks!

[surfmarko]

one of(if not) the best pop up tutorials

[saullandiof]

thanks so much for emphasizing the part about not pushing off your toes, most videos gloss over that and I was getting really confused why it was so much harder to popup in the water

[marcuspatriot]

Yeah this is the best pop up video on you tube

[chileucla]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed and I love ALL your videos. Simply the best explanations.

[coachkillian]

Barefoot surf is my favorite tutorial channel. Thanks for making awesome surf videos!

[milesplays]

Thank you!! I am a amateur surfer and you just saved me!! I commented this after I tried using your tactics.

[belgiandip]

AWESOME! I did not know that :D. I *think* I've been landing both at the same time, and usually successful, but sometimes it's an utter failure. Gonna try landing back foot a little b4 front 2morrow. Thank you!

[nicholasgarrett]

Thank you to turn it so simple in my head now!
