Surfing Waves

I traded boards with my friend for a while, but the thing is I ride a thruster and he rides a bonzer, so you ride them differently. So now that I've gotten my board back, I'll popup and completley miss the traction pad and can't turn my board at all, and then by the time I move my foot another foot back, I've either gotten too far back in the soup to surf the wave, or end up pearling because of too much weight on my front foot.

Anyone know how I can get up with my foot in back again?

try this mark out your board wiv tape on your floor and practise pop-ups gettin your feet in the right spot ,but nothing beats goin surfin for real

Well I'm gettin a new bonzer, watch I'll get it right like the day its done.
