SBS: How To Pop Up On A Surfboard

[@jaouad.]

i've watched so many how to pop up videos yet i find this one so useful, thank you.

[@LCKRD-un1rx]

Dabar Jaouad Have you been out to the beach to practice?

[@marvinlacson132]

You got it so easy for me to understand. Great job guyz.

[@manuelmolero5718]

The best surf video EVER! the explanation, the timming, the images and recording really helpfull (Y) Grettings from Perú (PE)

[@TheBradPicklerChannel]

The best pop up video I ever seen. Really good!

[@Tuganotube]

Best pop up vid I ve seen so far. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@Soulenergy31]

The best pop up show video!! thank you very much!

[@brettm.s.1169]

There are other ways to ' pop up ', the most popular technique is to keep your focus on getting your feet thru under you, it requires flexibility and speed but there's another technique where you focus on getting your bum as high as quickly as possible , leaving more room under you to bring your feet thru. It's a little slower but it's easier if you have arthritis or are a bit heavy and it works. The one knee/ 2 knees technique is too slow and people always rest on the way up and it's unstable. Certainly squatting on the beach to free up the hip joints helps but you can do that at home so you arrive ready to go.

[@Blackirish__]

The rear foot is the hardest to get right and at the same time critical for control

[@rosamrc923]

Very useful! Thanks a lot!

[@safetybeachlife]

Try doing that on a short board. You’re toes will be like “hey where something solid to bounce off “, because they’ll be pushing off water.

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

True but you got to start somewhere...

[@Purewater-sr9xp]

Good explanation

[@joesefr.7756]

Sweet, I used to pop up with hands on the rails = major wobble. Looking down at were my feet were also threw me off alot.

[@daniel.buchanan]

What size board is this? Trying to understand the foot placement snd weight distro

[@qingshuosong6363]

Wow, I’m inpressed

[@mauddescamps7572]

best one on the matter. Cover up many details. Thanks!

[@ApprenticeGM]

That is excellent popping technique with great explanation - thanks and well done! I'm teaching my boys how to surf now and this is really helpful.

[@ryantherock7664]

after a few months on the shortboard im getting the popup right however my feet are too close together...how can i get them further apart on the popup apart from adjusting when standing

[@SBSboards]

+Ryan The Rock There are a number of ways you can get you feet to the right position you can practice the pop up you want on land to get the movement pattern and practice it enough so it becomes ingrained and second nature to pop up that way. Another way is to put some black duck tape were you want your board stance to be and that will give you a visual guide on were to get your feet .hope that helps

[@ucpaimessouane2475]

@@SBSboards you should keep looking far forward for a good balance not where you gonna put your feet ???

[@w3newbie]

This is great! Maybe you guys can do a short board knee pop up video!

[@SBSboards]

Yep will do

[@jackoneill5148]

Could you still do the pop up with your toes on the end of the board if the board is 7" 2' and you are about 5" 9'? Thanks

[@SBSboards]

+Jack O'Neill depending on how much pressure you put through each leg, as if you imagine the board to be a seesaw more pressure you put on the tail the more you will stall/slow it down = create more drag but more control to turn. so depending how the board is stilling in the water you need it to plane smoothly across the water. so as long as it doesn't affect the planning speed or balance you will be fine. Hope that helps

[@saullandiof5768]

no

[@Noah-vc5cu]

Can you do another video for shortboards?

[@SBSboards]

Hi Noah we will be making a shortboard version very soon thanks for the comment :)

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Thank you very much. I learned a lot from watching this video. Thank you again!

[@Jay-fq8uz]

I put my traction pad just a little higher then where it should be now when I pop up my foot is already on the traction pad. Before it would only reach the the top part of the traction pad not the back. That is why I moved it up but now I'm starting realize that when I pop if I want to move my foot back for more pressure or to pump my foot gets tangled up because theirs is nowhere else to move it because it's already on the very end of the traction pad. Not that big of a problem for me but do you think I should just leave it or get a new one??? Will hider my progression or is it just fine and preference?

[@SBSboards]

+Dead poolmonkey Hey Jack No worries we have all done similar things with out a picture of you surf or your stance I might be hard to tell but if your traction pad is stopping you putting your foot further towards the tail this may have an effect on your turning as your back foot(tail foot) will have a harder time pushing down over the wider more volume part of the board. Were as if your foot was at the tail the response time is much quicker. I would suggest try it for a little while and then possible heat it up with a hair dryer and try move it back to the tail thanks :)

[@expertcomputerrepairservic5654]

thank you so much this is so useful

[@robertfranco4493]

Is this a 6.8?

[@SurfMastery-kz6je]

great music

[@ryantherock7664]

this popup assumes your feet are touching the tail...on a shortboard my feet hang over the back...how do you popup then?

[@SBSboards]

hi the pop up on a short boards is the same as the first example but off your knee's. If your pooing up on a shortboard you probably want to have a pretty good pop and had a lot of pratice

[@ryantherock7664]

+Snell Brother Surfboards great thanks

[@Felix-kc7fy]

This is very useful

[@RobManser77]

Great video - thanks. All points covered, no waffle 😊👍🏻

[@ExplorewithZac]

And of course you chose a board that's just barely long enough for your toes to touch the end. What about short boards?

[@James-ip5gz]

On the pop up, is it better for the back foot to land on the toes, or to the side of the entire back foot like this -> learnsurfschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_0205.jpg

[@SBSboards]

James Kolesnikovich Thanks for your question. Like the picture you sent us.It is some times personal preference but the side of the foot is what most usually go for as it is very stable and you can transition between a vertical stance to a lower stance to help keep the board trimming. for instance carving the surfboard to tucking in a barrel you would youse both the sole and the side . hope that's helps

[@jackoneill5148]

Hi. how many feet is that board? thanks

[@SBSboards]

+Jack O'Neill 8 foot similar shape to this board here www.sbsboards.com/product/2016-big-squid-longboard/

[@trappinz]

No bullshit. The best vídeo. THX

[@arturomorettmorett9598]

Does anyone know why he bends his back foot like that???

[@sharkodon658]

my tip for a beginner is to not buy a board until you can surf a shortboard. You should just borrow a that way you can improve on a variety of boards without wasting money on a giant longboard or a foamie which you'll never use again

[@joesefr.7756]

Good idea if you have friends with spare boards to borrow, otherwise you'll just spend a ton on rentals!

[@tankimarkgraaf]

You can also buy a cheap second hand nsp or bic for the first few months then sell it again for like almost the same price

[@CruisinJolzy]

good video guys!

[@kpibaras]

ty for ur video..very helpful!! cheers from chile

[@koisprk8098]

Good one!

[@luigicorciulo6193]

What if I am tall and my toes are not on the board?

[@micahh8920]

Get a bigger board unless your a pro.

[@wbragas]

Bom vídeo. Song?

[@giacomodioracarter9002]

what about a short board

[@Noah-vc5cu]

How big are the waves?

[@SBSboards]

waves are just under 1 foot

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Thanks

[@Tursiops81]

anyone getting nausea while waiting for the wave?any tips on how to avoid such a disaster?

[@ucpaimessouane2475]

please ,review your technics of surf : this ones can be useful for some non sportif persons : normally we pop up in one move both feet on the surfboard , watch good surfers standing up ?? they do oit different so why to teach them people wrong ?

[@edwardjunior3897]

How long is that board?

[@SBSboards]

8ft or 8ft 2 something like that its a beginners soft top surfboard

[@vlabe06]

I use the beginner one for 3 years straight now

[@TheGCode]

When you say feet parallel to the rails they are actually perpendicular.

[@SBSboards]

Hi There GCode thanks for the comment, The video actually say "twisting your Hips to become parallel to the rails" as you want your chest facing the rails not the front. Hope this helps you out. cheers

[@zevistatuador9326]

belas bases

[@jackjackk9764]

Hey. Does it matter if I go with my right leg on front? My right leg is the strongest. Thanks!

[@SBSboards]

+Jack Jackk Hi Jack I is dependent on what feels comfortable when riding usually your strongest dominate foot would go at the back(tail) of the board because all movement stem from that back foot. but do what feels natural and fluid and Im sure you will find what stance is best for you :)

[@ralphylad]

I legit did no lessons, just followed the details from this and practice, practice, practice

[@sharkodon658]

great vid but its not a good idea to teach the knee technique(it'll just lead to some bad habits)

[@samsnell8649]

very true but we wanted to show different options for absolute beginners who may have difficulty with the pop

[@SBSboards]

This board is 8 foot

[@deerobb7013]

what about a 6 foot board the, can't put toes on the board, otherwise you'd be nose diving when paddling for the wave :(

[@SBSboards]

You are totally right and that why this video is for Beginners learning to pop up. If you paddling a 6 foot board you probably already know how to pop up or at least got the idea poping up from your knees. there are a few out there that are good we will be making one very soon

[@deerobb7013]

Oh, ok, I see.

[@TriumphAventura]

why both arms pointing front like a t-rex? :D

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

Helps with balance, like the flexed knees giving a soft crouch. It all avoids a static or rigid stance which means you get chucked off. Also helps with steering, a bit of point where you want to go, body turns, board reacts and turns. Feels weird & silly at first. Best to over exaggerate in the early days. Just suck up any embarrassment, you're up and surfing. Those of us who surf understand you're in the early days - we all were at some point. In no time you'll find your natural dynamic surfing stance. Remember, the best surfer at the break is the one having the most fun - that could be you 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TriumphAventura]

@@dewindoethdwl2798 thanks for the detailed explanation, I am pretty new yet, always think of that motto when frustration comes in

[@joaosilvapedrosa]

Boa mesmo assim

[@wvgs4441]

why dont you grab the rail?

[@wvgs4441]

+Wagzy when popping up

[@prephasfallen5168]

+Wagzy if your hands slip off the side of the board you will smash your face and wipeout.

[@raizario942]

+Wagzy also its bad habit. it creates a drag in the water.

[@TahaNasser]

Also on bigger / steeper waves, if you put your hands on the rails, the water hitting your hands sprays everywhere including into your eyes. Makes it really hard not to wipe out haha

[@sharkodon658]

also your board should be waxed so you wont slip or slide

[@toomuch9762]

That cant be good for his back knee

[@ScottCopenhaver]

It looks bad right? Lol but if you train the knees in valgus with control , it's possible to have less occurrence of ligament tears. But yeah for a beginner, be careful putting a lot of weight on the back leg with the knee in that position

[@Namdor2012]

I'm waiting for the Crane kick from karate kid..lol

[@marciabellotti]

You should not teach a method that will introduce physical vicious to people: to use one knee to popup is something really hard to correct later.

[@NK-bz9wb]

I'm just gonna guess that my weight should be centered, because they said nothing about it and it looks like it in the video...

[@saullandiof5768]

dude. don't jump off your toes, it won't work on most boards so it's a terrible habit

[@hellallnamesaretake1]

Don’t you people read his answers? Stop asking the same dumb questions..... doing my head in, and probably his lol

[@jabaruoqui]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5OsZmaEn6iseNE This is it.

[@keithahlstrom176]

Good lord don’t do that! Don’t pop up! Go watch any good surfer and they step up. Popping up is a recipe for poor balance and a bad take off. Or do it however you want. More waves for me. 😂

[@jabaruoqui]

Bullshit vídeo

[@LCKRD-un1rx]

jabaruoqui Why?
