Stay compressed is a rare but excellent tip

It never looks that smooth for me, the waves are breaking over the top of my head and it’s picking me up at 1000miles per hour before I get a chance to do anything 😂

I’ve surfed on and off for years, as a novice, but I can turn on waves and catch them ok. However, I just can’t pop up cleanly cause my legs won’t fit under me when my torso is raised up. Is this just my long legs and short arms, a lack of flexibility, or bad technique?

seems like his front foot is touching first? is that ok? I've only ever heard that back foot should touch first

I don’t wanna use the toes, only wanna use knees and hands. But I can’t bending the legs without toes. How can I strengthen my core?😢

I can never understand how they swing their legs under them from on their knees

Is it possible for me just teach myself to surf ?
