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....
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. 💮🏵️💗🏄🏄🏄🤟🤟🤟🇦🇺
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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😊
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.
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!
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 😄🤙
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.
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!
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
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 .. ❤🏄🏻♂️
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
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?
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
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?
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
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...
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!
Happy to heard that!!! Have a great session!!! 🙏🙏
instablaster.
A great tutorial🤙🏼🌈 Thank you brother🎸 What are the surfing possibilities in Salvador?
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....
Also, no vocal audio on the right side. So you have to have left earphones bud in to listen
I thought I was the Only one really disappointed whit the music....why? Why? 🤬
Thankyou.

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.
Really nice tips. Nobody thinks to talk about these tips and so important ! I understand many thing thanks to you! Take you !!!
Best pop up video on RUclips well done
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.
Never to late!! Go big!! Good vibes!
Great explanation on technique, and foot positioning. Very helpful. Thanks
Great explanation of foot positioning! Thank you
A VERY good explanation, demonstration, and the exercises to improve foot placement!
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!
God bless Marcos!
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.
Great video Marcelo thanks. Where did you get the mat from?
Great fundamentals 😄 thank you so much 😄
By far the best explanation of the pop up , great job

Great film Marcelo ( inhale, exhale) cheers mate
Muchas gracias! Me ha ayudado un montón, ya lo he puesto en práctica!
muchas gracias, excelente explicación.
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.

Andrei you are 100percent correct. all action sports producers think they need music behind everything. its distracting and not needed
and its only on the left side :D

Gracias Marcelo!!
Helped me correct a lot of errors in my pop up/posture/drive (:
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.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for that video mate

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?
Booked my surf camp at Padang Padang.
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?
yeah you right!!!
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
