That part confused me... if you're right handed, which foot is the back foot and vice versa, and which one goes best naturally with whichever way you're 'handed'?
@@scottporter4524 I’m personally right handed and my back foot is my right foot. You’re back foot should be the foot that your leash is attached to. I think one way to find your back foot is to consider what foot you would kick a soccer ball with. There’s different ways of figuring this out though.
3rd day of surfing and I watch and studied this and was successful today. One thing I learned is that this helps A LOT while learning to catch the waves. Awesome vid. I can say that this vid helped me stood up successfully.
Barefoot Surf hello, how do you properly turn your board while paddling? I want to catch the wave but it was hard to maneuver the surfboard facing the beach.
Great tips thanks! I was doing at least half of the "Not to do" things. Can't wait to get out again and try these new tips. Feel a good day coming on. keep it up!
Just spent 3 hrs on the beach in Cornwall. Was told to go on my knees and then stand up. Didn’t get off my knees once. Your method makes more sense. Will have another go tomorrow.
I'm 48 and took my 1st surf lessons in Puerto Rico this summer. My instructor said everything you posted here. I was able to get up on the board for a bit. Can't wait to go again.
@@barefoot_surf your technique is false , this video is wrong ;; teach people bad habits : some can stand up in one time this is only a method for non fit persons , and for long terme wont work in serious waves , even you i suppose you doing it different
@@ucpaimessouane2475 Yes of course. We intentionally named this video "Beginner Take Off Technique". This is a take off technique that we sometimes use to teach beginners during their first days in either white water or very small waves, as it prevents the bad habit of using the knees. We have 3 take off techniques used for different skill levels and conditions. As you probably already know, not every beginner is able to do a "perfect pop up in 1 motion only" during their first days.
I can't tell you how helpful your videos and Instagram posts are to me. I'm 35 and juuuust beginning to take surfing lessons, and all the information you give is amazing! thanks thanks thanks!
thank you!!! done thousands of these but 'forgot' due to lack of water time (surgeries, etc) Didnt realive "bringing the back foot forward" first and then the front foot was my problem. Going ot paddle out in the morning and practice this, I know it will work....
Was surfing since 1998 then went into hiatus due to covid and duty calls, now i’m back and at my age (59) prefer to go back to basics, your video has been a great help keep it up 🤙👍
This was super helpful! I’m going surfing at the beach this weekend and I’m excited. The initial movement of the back foot gives me confidence I won’t keep falling!
first learnt to Surf when i was 18 had a 6 footer Short Board, now getting back in to it again at 51 either a 6ft or 9ft.. whoop..whoop.. my Sport last 20 plus years Windsurfer
Well crap. I was grabbing my rails AND trying to get up on my knees first yesterday trying to copy the shortboard surfers around me. I did quite a few summersaults. Thanks for the video, I've subscribed. :)
The knees takeoff works way better for me because the take off on my local break is usually bumpy because of alot of chops so being low on my knees holding the rails with both hands allows me to complete longer rides since I don't fall off as much at the start and can stand up and complete the rest of the wave. While most other surfers are falling down all around me they don't know about the knees technique. 😊
I paid for some lessons and I kept falling and even ruptured my Achilles tendon because they told me for the pop up to bring both my knees together and also bring my front foot first! Omg it’s like the complete opposite of what I just learned right now. Thank you! Next time once I’m off this boot brace I will rent a surfboard and remember these steps you have taught me!
I just bought an 8ft board online after watching your videos, 🤞 I have never touched a surfboard in my life lol, It should arrive before the weekend, so I’ll be able to make my first attempt!!
Excellent stuff. I am skimboarder. One thing I see beginners always do is knees out instead of knees inside the balls of their feet. Oh and thumbs in, as well. You will fall off if your thumbs point away from your body (kinda like palms up) so keep those thumbs pointed in. These are balance tips you can test on a balance board.
I just tried surfing the first time today in outer banks and it was pretty tricking and I realized all the things I was doing wrong from this so thank u!
This was super helpful. I've been in the water on and off over the years and still struggle to stand. I've never heard of getting up framed in this way. I'm looking forward to trying this tomorrow in the water. Thank you!
this video elped me so much. As soon as i went for a surf today i started focussing on not grabbing the rails as that was the habbit i was stuck on, and now i can stand up alot easier!
I’m going to try this when I go surfing (or try to again, lol) tomorrow! Thank you. I’ve been struggling to pop up a lot😂 Doing a lot of yoga and push ups to prepare but haven’t seen the technique broken down like this before
WOW thank you...I am bookmarking this for Thursday 4/19 when I re - land back at Playa Guiones...I think I made every mistake mentioned! I am determined to get this going.
This is great! I surfed in high school and want to get the body strength back to do this on a paddle board. We have a fast moving river nearby and everyone goes out and surfs it with paddleboards
Thank you for helpful tips. It was my first day to try surfing. I was exhausted from paddling out the ocean. So I decided to paddle back and chill at the beach instead! I will definitely try next time.
Thanl you verry much for that little introduction! I wanned to go to Oasif Surf here for a time but never did because i'm nervous! I'm Going to use what i just leanr :P
I'm taking lessons but the teachers aren't providing that much help so I'm going to practice some of these in my room then apply them when I catch waves!
Nice video. I was trying surfing for 3 times, but I never got the take off. The teachers show roughly the same technique, but it was more complicated. I can feel, when I have to get up. I can feel the wave and I know what its like if I catch it. But I always missed the takeoff. I was thinking too much on the step I have to do to stand up on the board. It may take me another 6 hours, but I hope one day I can go surfing. I dont want to be a pro, I just want to have fun. But the beginning just sucks 😅😅
I just back from Bali last week and did surf school in Kuta for 2 hours for 17 Euro. I still having problem to getting speed when the wave comes but I can balancing my self when im standing on board. I hope I can do surf soon but sad Germany is really cold atm.
I wish I had learned this technique years ago when I was trying to learn to pop up. It would have saved me a lot of time! Is it true this is called the "Australian popup"?

I am 43 y.o 100 kg-heavy guy who never surfed before. I watched this video and was able to stand up and ride within an hour. Thank you very much.
Awesome review ! Did you skateboard before age 43 ?
Sad
Showoff
@@westerling8436how is that sad? Foh clown
The “back foot first then place front foot between hands” tip is really helpful!! Thanks lots! 💗💗
Your supposed to put your front foot first
This helped me too!
That part confused me... if you're right handed, which foot is the back foot and vice versa, and which one goes best naturally with whichever way you're 'handed'?

I must say, these videos are very well produced. Thank you for caring!
This is exactly how I learned when I first surfed. Totally works!

How is your surfing going
@@lucyclarckson9845 great thanks, couple of years since I left this comment so pop up is pretty good now. Getting out 2-3 days a week. How about you?

Please do more videos like this! I love the tutorials you have been doing lately! You defiantly deserve more subs!
Thanks for the kind words @Andraya. Stay tuned, more Tutorials coming up.
I love it when I find long lost relatives on RUclips. Especially ones into surfing. :D :D :D

I moved to the surfing area in japan, tomorrow is my first day surfing thank you for this lesson
How was it?
@@kattodoggo3868 we will never know
Four years since then. How has it been?
Well this is bad news for us Noobs..He didn’t make it. Confidence down the drain now..
2:41 and 2:99 would be the most important advice. I didn't really start to ride the wave until I did this during my pop up. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing @craig ! Keep it up
I can't tell you how helpful your videos and Instagram posts are to me. I'm 35 and juuuust beginning to take surfing lessons, and all the information you give is amazing! thanks thanks thanks!
Short and sweet. I've watched a dozen videos thus far on standing up on the surfboard and this one is by far the best.
thank you!!!
done thousands of these but 'forgot' due to lack of water time (surgeries, etc) Didnt realive "bringing the back foot forward" first and then the front foot was my problem. Going ot paddle out in the morning and practice this, I know it will work....
Barefoot is where dreams come true...thank you for everything 🌊💛 Those videos are really helpful to improve the technique!

After lots of nose diving trying to stand up this will definitely be useful next time I'm on the water
I really enjoy the swimming pool and the surfboard really great idea and also on lakes 💓
Can’t believe no one has mentioned bringing in the back foot first it makes so much sense now, going to give it a try 👍
Thank you for breaking this down! I am struggling with the pop up even on dry land so I will try this and see if I find it easier
This is exactly how I learned when I first surfed. Totally works!
Si j’avais eu ce video à mes débuta j’aurais progressé vraiment plus vite. Très bon video, ça donne le goût de surfer!
Learned from you 3 years ago, and this is a beautiful video reminder!

This video was insanely helpful! I just started learning how to surf today and struggled with the pop up. Seeing it in action is super helpful!
why am i watching this i live in London the closest body of water is the Thames 😭
Get yourself down to Cornwall. Lots of beaches to choose from
I live in London, Canada. The closest body of water is also the Thames River lol. I won't get the opportunity to surf ever in my life😩
Emily Sun wait there’s a london in Canada omds i never knew that 😭
@@kaelynoai Yup yup
London is a beautiful city, nothing to be sad about at all.

Great to hear. Thank you
Des explications très claires, merci! Maintenant, reste plus qu’à appliquer!
I've got to try this out tomorrow. Just had a session where I think I did every one of the "don't do this" examples!!
