Cooool awesome!!!!
Great video thanks for sharing I appreciate it. I watch surf videos where for short board practice the toes never touch the back of the board or the pad, they just press beneath the chest and popped all the way up.
Is that just a super advanced way to pop up? On shortboards is touching your feet to the pad to pop up as necessary?
I like the way you construct the pop-up. I've been practicing dryland pop ups. The way you showed how to pop up is very easy to do.
The advanced pop up where your feet don't touch the board and you just push under your chest with a lot of power I find is very difficult and want to know is that a proper way to pop up because I see some instructors out there teaching that in YouTube land?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
