Connecting Your Pop-Up To Your Surf Stance

The pop-up and the surf stance are 2 parts of a connected whole.

For best results they both need to be muscle memory.

You can shortcut this process with this tape trick.

Outline your favourite board and follow the instructions.

But remember, this is a refinement exercise and can only be done AFTER you’ve taken care of your pop-up specific strength and flexibility.

If you want help with that, our Pop-Up Progression System covers it completely.

No better way to learn, than getting in the water

My two cents…30 years of surfing…learn to step up onto the board not “pop up”.
Pull up any pro on youtube, slow down the player and you will see them - typically- plant the back foot then the front foot. You maintain balance, you maintain contact with the board which means you have control. You can slow down the takeoff so it’s smoooove. Slow is smooth - smooth is fast. Or keep “pooping” up, blowing the takeoff and then I’ll scoop up all the waves. 😂👍🏄🏻‍♂️

Fantastic idea, I do burpees but it's not the same

lol that back foot is still wrong… the back knee needs be pointing more in the direction of where you are going, thats impossible with the back foot being 90 degrees to the board

Nice idea with the tape but no advanced surfer looks at their feet once they pop up.. should be looking at the wave face to read the section ahead of you

[LilMocrowHD]

Shouldn't your back foot have to be a bit more further away from the back #newbie here

What’s a good size board for a 12 year warranty old
