How to Pop Up Further Forward?

My first session with a shortboard went well yesterday (I'm a longboarder), but I realized that my main problem was that when I popped up, I'd be too far back on the board.

Certainly, I just need to popup further forward, but are there any tips or tricks to help me accomplish that?

Thanks,

Al

Are you sure? Its kinda hard to be too far back on a shortboard (at least for the backfoot) :?

What size board are we talking about?
