Pop Up and feet positioning! Game changer for all levels!

[@powyoung]

I've been surfing for 30 years and have never had anybody explain feet positioning on the pop-up as well. Thanks for the tips!

[@marcelocsurf]

Happy to heard that!!! Have a great session!!! 🙏🙏

[@cassiuskamdyn4413]

instablaster.

[@RossenBial]

A great tutorial🤙🏼🌈 Thank you brother🎸 What are the surfing possibilities in Salvador?

[@Namdor2012]

Background music gets in the way,...Just friendly advice tone it down or have none, people want instructions and advice which you give well, music is ok for surf footage and elevators....

[@ericbarnes8]

Also, no vocal audio on the right side. So you have to have left earphones bud in to listen

[@lucaalbanese3281]

I thought I was the Only one really disappointed whit the music....why? Why? 🤬

[@theAussie01]

Thankyou. Been an aussie surfer since 6, now 51. Broke my C3/C4 in my neck surfing after doing it for decades. Was paralyzed in the water, have a titanium plate and 4 X 14mm screws in my spine.Learnt to walk again and after 2.5yrs made it back....love surfing again. Your videos are very professional and I am learning from you as you seem to be a good teacher 😃.The breathing you mentioned is very important. Subscribed. 💮🏵️💗🏄🏄🏄🤟🤟🤟🇦🇺

[@marcelocsurf]

Wow very inspiring story!! So happy you are surfing again! Keep surfing life the way you are, we fall down and stand up stronger! God bless!

[@nicolasmorel8109]

Best pop up video on KZbin well done

[@SuperMetALeuz]

Really nice tips. Nobody thinks to talk about these tips and so important ! I understand many thing thanks to you! Take you !!!

[@johnkowalski5708]

Great explanation on technique, and foot positioning. Very helpful. Thanks

[@rhubarbrhino]

Very underrated lesson. It’s taken me literally 20 years to realise my back foot wasn’t far enough back. I grew up in fat weak waves so back foot was always up to get speed and flow. Back foot gotta be on the heal grip to do hi-Po moves.

[@marcelocsurf]

Never to late!! Go big!! Good vibes!

[@siddude]

Awesome thank you. Focusing on fundamentals is so important. I was making rookie mistakes and making bad habits and then I realized I need to go back to fundamentals. It's a big difference.

[@MichaelMiller-td5wm]

Great explanation of foot positioning! Thank you

[@GibbiSaltyFeet]

Thanks brother!!!! The best pop up and feet position VDO so far!!!! Can’t wait for the next tutorial!!!!

[@marcelocsurf]

Thank brother!! Next tutorial coming soon! Have a great day!

[@karlasosa5304]

Great video Marcelo thanks. Where did you get the mat from?

[@roddonoso275]

This was excellent , after 30 years of surfing this has been a game changer / you presented this very well / especially with the board template on the mat.

[@marcosrwr]

Your tip about the back foot is the game change for me. I was trying to turn longboard, bending it exactly like you showed til I lose my balance and fall out the board. I'll try to put my back foot more closer to the tail to improve the board turns. Thank you very much, Marcelo!

[@marcelocsurf]

God bless Marcos!

[@moledog88]

By far the best explanation of the pop up , great job

[@jackfrostcm108]

Great fundamentals 😄 thank you so much 😄

[@alejandrodemosteyrinmunoz5755]

The knees position to back foot landing position reference is something I have never heard before. Thanks for sharing that! The hands too far forward is another key element of the pop up that very few online coaches teach, and it is crucial to land your front foot in the center of the string. If you have no room for you leg, your front foot lands on the heel side most of the times. Very very good techniques taught in this video, I will definitely share it around. But please, fix the sound. Music is too loud and I can barely hear you. Nice job man! You got a new subscriber!

[@marcelocsurf]

Thanks brother!!! Really apréciate!

[@teacheristalking7690]

Thank you, Marcelo! One of the most useful videos out here on the internet!

[@niconine268]

Shot bru. Good foot positioning tutorial

[@oggunguerrero]

Hola Marcelo mucha calidad de este Tutorial me puedes decir que marca es el mate que usas para entrenar Vale un saludo desde Lima Peru

[@leannewalker8679]

This is just the best ever video I have watched on posiioning of the feet. This has helped me progressso much. Wish you would make some more like this. Thanks, Lea from Australia😊

[@ragonzo]

Very informative video, Marcelo you are a great at explaining these tips. Im going to put them to the test for sure

[@RC-1900]

De las mejores explicaciones que he visto... A practicar se ha dicho!. Gracias 🤙

[@marcelocsurf]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@aneesahmed2978]

I watched several videos but i can say that this video gave me so much information out positioning of the legs. Excellent content, thank you

[@cedricrocknsurf2245]

Best tutorial ever! Big thanks !

[@antonnordstrom8222]

Very good lesson. I've had huge issues with pearling after stepping down to a smaller board. I am finally getting the hang of it after realizing my body position and weight is too far forward and consciously pop-up a lot further back. Having snowboarded my whole life the natural stance I pop-up into is to have the center of gravity in the middle of the board, with my feet position almost the same distance between the nose and the front foot, as the tail and the back foot. When I first started surfing I mostly used 65-80l boards and got into a bad habit to pop-up into forward heavy position but being so stable it worked anyways. Going down to a 50l board has been a harsh but good lesson.

[@marcelocsurf]

thank you!! enjoy the journey!!

[@marynvos4028]

Excellent, really good tutorial!

[@foobar_]

very useful. thank you!

[@MensGroup]

This was REALLY helpful. Thank you!

[@MensGroup]

You explained this better than any other video I've seen!

[@darirue]

Will be surfing tomorrow. I usually watch how to videos before going to get at least a bit of confidence 😂 I'll definitely apply this tomorrow! One of the great videos I've seen so far!

[@florenciach9300]

So so good!!! Thanks very much!!!! Lot of info no teacher has told me ever! 🌊 greetings from Buenos Aires!

[@RonyIsCool]

Amazing video man thank you so much for these tips!! For someone that doesn‘t live close to the ocean, these types of exercises are absolutely vital!! But of course they are vital for any stoked surfer out there hehe 😄🤙

[@marcelocsurf]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@shosiblack9115]

IM A BEGINNER AND THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@brianbarker1675]

Fantastic video! Well explained and some stuff I'd never considered. Keep it up

[@marcelocsurf]

Thanks!! Good vibes

[@Rummageification]

Excellent tutorial mate, well done 🙏🏼

[@luisotero7668]

Muchas gracias! Me ha ayudado un montón, ya lo he puesto en práctica!

[@marcopennetta6939]

i really love the pictures on the wall!! thanks for the lesson..i gonna try tomorrow!

[@marcelocsurf]

the painting? thanks !! Go surf!!

[@iantincangleed4702]

Great film Marcelo ( inhale, exhale) cheers mate

[@uavfeliped]

Hola @marcelo Castellanos , donde adquiriste la toalla con el detalle de la tabla de surf y las posturas para el pop up . Saludos !

[@TheAguiar68]

I had some issues with the pop up. This video helps a lot!

[@activeandrei]

Thanks for the tips, subscribed! My only suggestion is to turn the music volume down - it was a bit difficult to hear your instructions with the music being at about the same volume as your voice.

[@marcelocsurf]

Thanks 🙏

[@JLEVY69]

Andrei you are 100percent correct. all action sports producers think they need music behind everything. its distracting and not needed

[@hashtagbackpack4621]

and its only on the left side :D

[@floating-in]

Nice vid! Avoid dragging your feet is another point, that'll slow you down, get your caught up in the lip and primary reason for taking off late.

[@marcelocsurf]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@sergioabreu3001]

you are a good teacher. thanks!

[@marcelocsurf]

🙏 thank you!!

[@CatseyeRevival]

Great summary on that topic! Where did you get your mat?

[@laurensevers8825]

It’s a Pro Trainer Surf mat: protrainersurf.com

[@pauldavis2480]

Fantastic explanation of the pop-up and foot positioning best video I’ve seen so far. I’ve been learning myself to surf for a couple of months on the south coast in the UK so waves not great but learning this foot positioning is helping me a lot just starting to turn. Still in white water but getting there slowly, I probably look a bit of dick most of the time but I quest we all start somewhere, and videos like yours helps out loads… great explanation and very easy to understand. thank you very much and keep them coming .. ❤🏄🏻‍♂️

[@formacionREKAPP]

Thanks, Marcelo do you know where cxcan I get one of the matt with the board drawing as you show on the video?

[@peter-jason5298]

great tips, i look forward to more of them.. peace out from vanisle

[@marcelocsurf]

THANKS

[@pablocuello7304]

muchas gracias, excelente explicación.

[@Tiger-ln8ec]

Where can I find this practice mat?? Learned a lot from this video!

[@djconeuk]

Great tutorial! Spot on information, especially about the knee and where the back foot lands. :)

[@marcelocsurf]

Thanks!!!

[@yomismo174]

Muy buen tutorial!! Enhorabuena y mil gracias!! Saludos.

[@nickshotgun3760]

Thank you sensei, a lot of info in short video structurized, right to the point. Subscribed

[@puravidaibiza3442]

Excelente vídeo. Surfeo hace 8 años pero a mis 44 años cada vez me cuesta más el pop up. Y sobre todo de back side siendo regular. Estaría bueno q hagas un vídeo de back side. Graxias

[@FrediSaal16]

this just changed my life. well. okay. but it helped a lot! thanks so much

[@yuvalsaban1500]

Gracias Marcelo!! Helped me correct a lot of errors in my pop up/posture/drive (:

[@bushbeatnik4480]

Marcelo thanks for this. Where do you get those sick practice mats in the vid?

[@mauricegourmet]

Great video where can I find that mat you were using?

[@amp7816]

Great vid…But what mechanics are you using to scoop your feet underneath you? Are you pushing off of one knee, both knees or just driving your front knee through as fast as you can?

[@יוסידיין]

Thank you its amazing!! can you make a video on how to surf a longboard?

[@thmanmohan]

Yo great video. I'm surfing on rivers in the rocky mtns N America and focusing on my pop up at the start of my 2nd season here. Yo where do you get one of those mats with the surf board diagram on it?

[@frankvyvyan]

I also heard it's better to exhale as you pop up rather than inhale , for increased energy and stability. Any thoughts on that please?

[@marcelocsurf]

yeah you right!!!

[@gethnoble4316]

GRACIAAAS POR ESTE EXCELENTE VIDEO! aunque ya surfeo desde 1976, sigo queriendo mejorar mis pop ups, como q no? es logico! voy a hacer tus ejercicios switch foot, todavia se me hace dificilisimo pop up switch! hey, also tu ingles es muy muy muy entendible, bravooooo! okis ciao

[@maxisworld]

Thank you bro!! Needed this rn 😊🙏🏼🌊🤙🏼✨☘️🌈✨

[@12jasroxy]

Can you provide a link to the mat your using in this video? Thanks!

[@jorgemendoza2563]

Cool video, very informative. Where can i find the mat tho?

[@bryanthernandez4795]

Thanks for the tips, can't wait for more content! I recently started learning how to surf and love how you teach it as a sport with a wholistic approach. Working on the fundamentals in order to improve is what I teach my students in Lacrosse as well so it's awesome to hear it from someone else. I'm making it a personal goal to go to El Salvador and get coached by you, my mom is from El Salvador and as a child I could never visit because she said it was too dangerous. Now that I'm older the beautiful beaches, meeting my family, and getting some surfing lessons sounds way too good to miss. Until then I'll be following your videos and using them to learn!

[@marcelocsurf]

Bryant Hernandez thanks you very much for your comment!! I’ll be posting more soon! I been working on that for a few month and we are getting ready to launch! So good to hear to have familia here and it sound like the perfect trip haha! Happy to share and tech you in person when you come! Have a great day

[@davidgullick]

Great video. But, your explaining on a short board. Being a 6'0 tall Intermediate surfer, I ride a mid length 6'6. So, I always stand up on the middle of the board. I understand how to go forward to catch more waves and have stability. But, still don't understand how to pop up very far back...

[@medievalknievel]

Thank you brother!

[@nowdepartingordinary]

sick tips! Graciasssss

[@alexanneherve1837]

Best pop up video

[@paulcoleman6339]

Brilliant 🤙🏄‍♂️

[@pineoandloeb]

Nice tips thanks man!!!

[@simonfujiyama]

great stuff! Would you say the „jump“ is better than the „chicken wing technique“? lower-end intermediate from Portugal here ;)

[@dougsheldon8970]

Pop up without being on ball of foot. Makes huge difference in perfecting short board pop up.

[@dennyvandereecken9092]

Where can i buy this mat with surfboard print?

[@edwolf5396]

Great video helped heaps

[@mxmaniac05]

Legend, thank you

[@levandninakamalov807]

Thank you so much, so productive!

[@hollywoodrn7240]

Where to buy the mat you are using?

[@7Chad]

Where does one find a mat like that?

[@gdawwg1125]

thanks mate. popup always an issue for me. some sessions i nail it every time. but most of the time its a issue . one problem i have is i arch up for too long before poping up. i don't even know why i do it

[@Vaildogtraining]

Where can I buy a training mat like that? The one with the surfboard drawn onto the mat. Thanks!

[@batboy5023]

You don't wanna buy the girl?

[@felixdrucker]

Awesome Vid Cheers mate

[@JLEVY69]

great video great focus...no need for the music

[@marcelocsurf]

Thanks for the feedback!!!

[@emrebennett2857]

Thank you for the video! I had pretty bad technique but I was fit enough (and the waves slow enough) for it to work. I have moved now to somewhere with faster waves and I went down to a 4' 6" board and my bad technique was no longer working.. I spent an hour practicing what you showed and changing my technique. I'm going surfing tomorrow I will let you know if this helped :')

[@marcelocsurf]

Let me know how it goes!!! Have fun

[@emrebennett7572]

@@marcelocsurf it was DEFINITELY a lot better and I got a few waves despite very messy conditions. I'm going again tomorrow :) One issue I had with this technique is that if I didn't arch my back (putting weight on the back of the board) the tail would life and I didn't have enough room to pull the legs through. So I am drilling this and focusing on my back Thanks for the awesome video

[@1stStarMa]

Thanks for the details

[@marcelocsurf]

Star Ma your welcome 🙏

[@beachmonkeycom]

where do you put your knees if the surfboard is shorter than you? for example, you are 6'3 and are riding a 5'4?

[@joumyfilms]

Thanks
