How to Pop Up on a Surfboard
Hi! This is Pat Weber with the San Diego Surfing Academy for expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to look at the pop up you are surfing. You hands are back here close to your wrist, your chin, chest and shoulders are up high, you are looking both ways before you cross the street because you want to be safe, don't want to run anybody over; and it is going to be one motion to the feet. Your front foot replaces your belly button on the board like this. One motion to the feet. I'll do it one more time. My hands stay back here close to my wrist. My front foot replaces my belly button and my back foot just drops down my instep, like so.
