"Learn to surf" The surfing Pop-up/Slide-up Technique

[@HilltopZombieShop]

I'm 47 and just starting to learn. I got an 8 ft wavestorm, and I weigh 175. Do you think that board is big enough for me?

Yes, and becoming fit and have good balance outside the water is essential, when I say fit I mean fitter, more flexible and balanced than what you are right now. look up, use the wave and not try to match the speed of the wave when paddling. Practice your pop up at home and you will fly.

@@aussiert Took it out last weekend. I got up a few times in some rough conditions. I kept nose diving when I stood up in the middle. I had to get up further back to keep the nose planing.

@@HilltopZombieShop that’s awesome, if you shift your weight back when you feel the back of the board lifting up and look where you want to go nosediving will stop, don’t look at the board or the water under you.

I like what you have to say. But I can't see what you are doing a lot of the time. I see the ceiling of your house instead . The camera needs to be aimed downward more.
