I have surfed a lot of years, with a lousy 2 step pop up. Confidence is low for those fast breaking waves. I've seen a lot of you tube lessons and recognised the principles but couldn't gauge how far out my flexibility is. Thanks for giving me a target. Best video lesson by far
this is a game changer for begginers, because your body will follow your neck, that follows your head, that follows your eyes and that's my friends, is the most important aspect of the dreadful, hard to learn popup, because if is not done the proper way, nothin else matters, and I would add my 5 cc here by suggestin to twist your hand a bit on the deck prior to popping up, so you are already on an advantage position because your hips will twist along with the hands and your front feet will fall exactly the way it should to maximase the optimal standing position as you drop on the wave...hope that helps...
This is a very good approach to the pop up. You finally put into words what I've been doing for years in all my challenges and activities throughout life. Understand the principle behind everything, that way you know how to handle any changes that might happen.
Exactly! Before last session, thought 'I could pop up a bit quicker I reckon, what can I do?' Went OL to get some ideas. Wasted an hour in the swell 'practicing' another's Methodology. Gave up and went back to how I pop up. Bam, instant rides again based on the Principals. Cheers from Oregon, USA.
I genuinely enjoy your videos surf rat. I’ve watched a whole bunch of surf videos and they are all a dime a dozen. You’re videos are different in a great way. You’re video content, editing and personality make all the difference. Please keep up the content I can’t wait for what’s next.
Awesome video! I have always had troubles with my pop up. I just tried doing your advice at home, and then went for a surf and my pop up felt so much smoother and faster! Not perfect yet but I'll keep practicing, thanks a lot!
These videos are so good! Super clear and not over-complicated. I started properly getting into surfing in Raglan, quite funny that I found this channel to help me improve now I'm home and that you're based there.
thank you so much, you are a great explainer. you also give credit where credit is due, citing those links, very much in fitting with the creedo of give respect to get respect! great editing and production values.
Great video, I practice at home alot. It really helps. I'm much quicker to my feet now. Obstacles for me were; not being warmed up enough. I'm 56 years old, and can do it good when warmed up, not so much cold. Looking at the board. This caused problems for me too. So, practice at home, and look where you want to go. Catch lots of waves, have fun.
Was trying to figure out why your vids are so relatable and hilarious..but I think it's because you're a kiwi! Great to have tips etc in the same language I use! Loving your vids, clear, great length, and motivating to watch. p.s did ya knit your socks yourself? They are excellent. Cheers!
Thank you so much for putting your experience and analysis into a channel, loving it! With the "right" pop up technic, is it critical to hold/not to hold rails when you pop up?
Hey Alexandr. Some people will say to never hold your rails. I hold my rails. I don't think it matters. There are so many other things to get right that are much more important!
Fundamentals with everything in life are the keys to success. Combine that with patience, practice and persistence and you will succeed. I think the "Pop-Up" should be renamed to the "Slide-Up". Sliding up provides so much more control in my humble opinion.
Even though it's small, this is easily one of the most entertaining and informative surf channels I've come across. Keep up the great work. YEEW
High praise man, thanks!
I'd have to agree! I wish this video was longer
Agreed, it's unique....
that one little tip about using your knees to jump just changed the game for me. Legend.
I was surfing last weekend and the words "eyes up" just echoed through my mind all the time. And man, I caught a lot of waves💕
this makes me happy!
You're the David Attenborough of surf
You always come through with great points and your videos are always carefully crafted, keep it up man!
Great job boiling it down to the fundamentals!! Thanks

This is the BEST pop up video I’ve seen!!! I’ve been trying to understand how to pop up from my knees (short board) and you’ve cracked it!!!

High praise man, thank you
I've been surfing for a few years and I've never felt confident about my takeoff. I hope I will improve following the steps of this video.
Thanks man.
Original advice , good work
A hidden gem in UA-cam! Liked, Subscribed and now a member of your notification squad! Keep up the great content!
Thank you very much dude, such an excellent video. It's important to understand why & how stuff works & you explained it perfectly.
Best video on the subject I’ve seen. And there are a lot out there. Avoiding using toes for a short board pop up is very important, but lost by many.
i appreciate your videos, you are good at giving new good examples thumbs up from Oz!

The most useful video for the pop up process!!
Hey dude. You're great. Love the way you speak, chilled out. It reminds me the meditation app called Headspace. Love the channel. Congrats.
Like your approach, maybe you can do a video on cross steppin on a log / nose riding
These videos are amazing dude!
Great video, I practice at home alot. It really helps. I'm much quicker to my feet now. Obstacles for me were; not being warmed up enough.

Great advice my man!
Good, thorough videos man. Quality.
Great video well done !
really good explained and nice examples
Great video! One question, are you popping off your knees to create space for your feet to pass under since we can't use the toes?
that is genius - using your knees when on a shortboard - amazing thanks very much !!!
