Lol. This is actually one of the most coherent and useful tutorials on this topic. I have been surfing for nearly 50 years constantly and for the last 20 of those have really struggled at nailing it. I was a pretty useful surfer back in the day on the twin fins. I have always been of the hold the rails and pop both feet at the same time...Now all that does is brings both feet about a foot apart in the middle of the board. So have taken fins out of one of my boards and to wifes horror brought it inside to relearn how a 63 year old should do it. ha. Still ride short boards and realise if I want to keep enjoying my surfs more I will need to relearn! Fine when I'm up and on the rare occasion when feet land correctly. Cheers. Good stuff!
This is the best breakdown I’ve ever seen
Thank you!
😊
Thank you for the video- after past failed attempts I practiced your instructions in Ohio then surfed again with our daughter in Bolinas, California and caught my first wave at 69 years old. I also had help from instructors Nick and Mia in Bolinas.Thank you again- Matt McCarty
Thanks Matt. Stoked to hear its helped you!
First tutorial that actually shows the use of the knees out of all youtube! great video all other pop-up tutorials show the feet being used
So I didn't surf in a few years and was horrified by how bad my pop up became. This tutorial and filming myself on land helped out a bunch. Thank you.
Ditto. Been 20+ years, and I had no idea how bad I was now.
😅
OMG!!! This is the best Tutorial ever! Best animation, a good voice to explain. Make more! Congrats!!🎉
By far one of the best pop tutorials I’ve seen - simple, easy to follow and to the point 🤙
Yeah this is the best pop up video on you tube
This is hands-down the best breakdown video of this technique ever. love the channel.
thanks so much for emphasizing the part about not pushing off your toes, most videos gloss over that and I was getting really confused why it was so much harder to popup in the water
Out of all the tutorials I have watched, this is by far the best one and very well explained. thanks
great tips thank you
Omg please make more! Soooo helpful
Thanks for this clean explanation.
Thanks this is explained so simply , brilliant 🙌
Best tutorial ever ! Thank you.
Very much helpful thanks a million
Hands down the best surf tutorial channel right now. Thank you so much! 👍
Thank you so much
Thank you to turn it so simple in my head now!
one of(if not) the best pop up tutorials
There is so much visualisation in this video where the backfoot stands on its toes, and its even said 'this is fine' but I've noticed as a teacher that its rarely fine, it forces the knee down onto your board and often limits beginners getting up at all, and often makes them stand with both or atleast one foot facing forward
Barefoot surf is my favorite tutorial channel. Thanks for making awesome surf videos!
I learned more from this video about correct pop up technique and my flaws than I ever have before. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed and I love ALL your videos. Simply the best explanations.
I was looking forever for tutorial like this, thanks a lot
Wt great tutorial🤩 thank you so much.
Thanks you very much this is the best surf tutorial
Was looking for a good pop up video for a shortboard, without using your toes, forever. By far the best breakdown from u guys, thanks!
thanks this video helped a lot
The best tutorial ever!!
so cool thanks
Excellent tutorial
Thank you!! I am a amateur surfer and you just saved me!! I commented this after I tried using your tactics.
Guys .... I love your videos.. Thanks 🙏🏻
very helpful
Woah finally! So many videos i watched and this one finally made it click for me
great video. nice job
Great content!
AWESOME! I did not know that :D. I *think* I've been landing both at the same time, and usually successful, but sometimes it's an utter failure. Gonna try landing back foot a little b4 front 2morrow. Thank you!
Best video on this topic ever! thank you so much!
Stoked you liked it. Thanks
As a surf school instructor I will definitely bring this to my lessons. Liked and subscribed!!
Great video
It is so fantastic how good this is explaned. Love it!
the chilli fish looks so fun!!
This tutorials are a gift!! I loge them, thank you… I’d love if your online course was a 1 time payment instead of a year recurring… 😮❤
Excellent ❤️
After one lesson of learning how to surf, I was stuck on pushing up with my toes(the coach teach us to do) Cuz my toes alway sliding down and unstable to hold myself on board. I shall try this lifting technique to just use my knee to pop up! Hopefully it works❤
Awesome videos they should do some for chunky and tall surfers 😋
I've never surfed, I don't live near water, but I tried this in my house on the floor and I almost died, it's so tiring😭😱
Dont actually do a push up, do a cobra yoga pose first 😉
It’s also a lot easier on a wave as the board falls away from you down the face of the wave as you get up, creating a bit more room.

Yah surfing is definitely a sport! Try it on a moving board…I almost die a lot😂
Nice
Wow, excellent presentation!
Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you
best video, thanks
Thankyou! Super glad we could help. 🙌🏽
Sería una gran cosa que subtituladas al español estos tutoriales que si no de gran contenido...
Para mi gusto los MEJORES VIDEOS DIDÁCTICOS DE SURF DE LA RED
Fair play.
This was a perfect analysis! Great animations too. The girl at the end though has her eyes down at the board instead of looking straight ahead or down the line
She is a woman.
Great video thanks
Thanks
Happy to help!
Please , should my strong foot be forward or backward on the board? thank you for your reply .
I'm a beginner in surfing
Hello good vidéo!
What's the intro and end song?
🤗
Do you push with the knees on the board to create momentum for the swing?
Great pop-up video, but one tiny pet peeve: The major muscles of the chest are called pectorals (pek-TOR-als; layman's term) or petoralis (pek-tor-AL-is; Latin term), the latter of which is very commonly misconstrued as pek-TOR-ee-AL-is. Otherwise, the best graphic representation of pop-up mechanics I've come across. Great work.
I like the chicken wing. As my instructor called it, “the Jedi Foot Trick.”
Is this also what you teach to absolute beginners? I learnt to do this technique many years ago and eventually became a surf coach, I'm now coaching with a school which teaches front foot first and using the back knee to create space to bring the front foot up, then twisting into position. I've been reprimanded for teaching back foot first and causing confusion etc.
I'm having a lot of trouble with my back foot landing too far forward when I switch to my longer step up. Any advice on how to pop up consistently when switching board lengths?
thanks for posting. Step 3 is super difficult if you are grabbing your rails since you won't have enough room for your leg to get through
Yes that is correct. It’s easier if you put your hands flat on the board rather than grabbing.
Have been surfing for more than 50 years; in recent years I’ve had long breaks due to health. Your body doesn’t spring back as quickly when you’re young. I’ve had to work on the ‘pop up’. This vid is good, but I suggest building up the muscles and core before attempting the quick PU - it’s tricky on land and like me you could hurt your back. Putting the back foot down 1st if definitely the way to go bc you need to control where that front foot lands. Trying to land both in single motion is too hard unless the wave is very clean etc. Also build up to the standard PU from the chicken wing until you get good / strong / consistent..
Excellent video & comment Steve. Similar vintage to yourself. The standard pop up is hard on the old knees so chicken wing gets me up on the board. Alternative but not ideal on faster breaking waves is to leave back knee bent & swing front leg through then stand up so in barrel position. The younger more agile folk should be able to get to a standard pop up with practice.
@@hammster8255 I keep working on it even though I’ve found a pop that works for me. I have to watch my back. It’s basically a chicken-leg; back foot to right position as I push up with both arms next to arm pits, as I’m pushing to full extent I pull my front foot thru to pretty much where it should be. This movement works really good for me on any board. Very fast and less strain on the back.
@@stevenbrennan9262 Yes just find a way. I think we are talking the same method. The standard pop up is no good for my dodgy knee or back so what you & I use is quick and effective. In the correct position is what counts.
It works at Bells which admittedly are fat heavy waves so we stick with it. We keep surfing until we can’t 👍
My biggest issue is hips aren’t flexible enough to get my front foot up far enough to get a good center of gravity while my hands are still on the board. I’m working on it, but yeah, these things get more difficult and require much more maintenance as we get older.
I have the same issues as you’ve all mentioned. I totally agree about building the core for strength and stretching exercises as well just for general health, it will automatically improve your ability to pop up as your strength and flexibility improve. I’ve struggled for years with my health and have become unfit, surfing, core building and stretching has started to improve my overall health and happiness. Brilliant video. 👍
This doesn’t apply to the beginner push up video when you push up when you do a plank then bring your back foot forward first and keep the hands on the board (right)?? This video seems a little different..please explain!! Thank you for all the informational videos
Mood changed at 3:20
I can't do this. am I lacking strength somewhere? what are some things I can do to work up to being able to do this?
I use a 9’ long board so my toes are on the back of the board. I don’t have much core strength at 62 so I do push up with my toes in contact with the board. Any problem with this? I still can do as you demonstrate and bring my back foot first immediately followed by my front foot.
You‘ll be fine but if you decide to change to a shorter board you will have to learn the other technique
Tried to join to get the link, for the free tutorial but it keep giving an error.
Proper
3:20 ❤️
I can do this move easily in land and will incorporate it in the water for my next surf next week. My only concern is that while practicing I can feel my knees a tiny bit sore from the pushing in order to jump and bring them both in. Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?
Yes, your knees will touch especially if you are practicing on land as you are on solid ground and not a submerged surfboard. *Make sure to swing your knees up and forward by using only your hands and knees as spots of contact with the floor or surfboard. You can purposely lift your feet from the ground before taking off, to prevent you from using your toes.
Trouble here is my knees have been rubbed dry since I started learning lmaoo, I’ll have to see how to best prevent friction burn there
Put a storyboarder in ur life. Thanks for sharing. Happy 2023
I think my front foot lands first but i dont fully know but its either same time or front lands first
It will be good idea to record yourself doing your pop up, then playing it back to see if you can spot any mistakes.
This work for bigger/steeper waves tho?
Yes, it is one of the quickest ways to get to your feet so it will be useful for those conditions!
My god popping up off the knees is hard as hell. I just realized I can’t do it. What kind of drills do i need to do? It turns out I’ve been doing the figure four one leg at a time pop up method, like a wrestler getting up.
I think all this time my pop ups weren’t working because I didn’t create space between the surf board and I, also I was in the cobra position too much then all my weight was in the back which didn’t let me enter the wave, so thank you 🙏
Can you practice this on your board on the ground? Or will the fins break?
It is best to remove the fins first!
Does anyone else get grazes on their knees from constant pop-ups?
Just wondering if it's normal or if I'm doing something wrong.
Spanish subtitles please!
3:20 ... Hey, I popped up!
I had my tail removed, it kept flicking around and making me wipe out
Back foot first gives you more time to place the front foot...ok...but this “time” is the same you’ll loose to put yourself in te right spot of the wave.
At 0:54 there a shadow in the water by the surfer and its freakin me out
Great breakdown but you fail to mention anything about weight-shift and why even while doing dry practice the student should be made aware of this and become concious of it.
And another point is: keep the elbows extended untill you “jump” to the position
I´ve tried at home, and it was impossible lift my knees. I think you have to flick your legs down first to create that push needed to lift your knees. 04:18 Otherwise I always end up dragging my knees.
Hey Miguel,
The standard pop- up isn't a "one size fits all" technique. There are many people that have various physical limitations and have to use one of our other variations to get up to their feet (which is totally fine, too). One thing you may benefit from is watching our full, free online course on the "Take Off', and look specifically under the "Common Mistakes" Section. Perhaps you are dragging your knees due to looking down or not twisting your hips.

Goodluck, and I hope this helps in some way!
Problem is that trying to practice doing it is killing my knees
Back foward first
what if the waves dont even hit 3 feet, im in florida
Longboard
1:25
Yea - beginners constantly wipeout because they're all taught to land both feet at the same time for some reason.
When I did it my hands were to heavy and it made me do a nose dive
Remember to push your head and shoulder back when you have caught the wave to avoid nose diving.
Your feet will hang but remember when in the water doing the pop up the board will go a bit under the water
