[Guest]

i cant pop up straight to my feet i tend to put my left foot forward first and then my back foot up been doing this for a while an although it works on small waves when it gets bigger im normally past the bottom of the wave and miss the bottom turn

This should help. When a big wave picks you up and your about to drop in is when u need to get up. If you drop in on your stomach and then stand ......well you wont even get to stand cuz ur gonna nose dive!! But when your about to drop in put your hands on the rails , arc your back untill your arms are strait then slide your RIGHT leg up to where you stand .. Then you can pop your left leg up and your right leg is already where it goes ! you have to do this fast tho when your on the wave when you drop in keep a low ceter off gravity and lean a lil forward turn and your gone!! that should help!

Everyones been at that point. Just keep practicing. One day youll find you dont even need to think about it anymore and you just pop

what i do.... or did when i need to practice getting up fast is i took the fins off my board and layed down on a rug or somethig soft. then i practiced getting up like that and by my next surf session i was a lot better
