How the World's Best Surfers Pop Up (Slow Motion)

I've always wanted to see the top pro surfers' pop-up technique in slow motion, so when I had the opportunity to shoot the WSL Founder's Cup at Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch, I rented a long lense and started shooting 120fps, which I then slowed down 5x for this video. I found it really interesting, so I decidedto share it so we could all learn from it. I was surprised that there were so many different techniques among these best. Tell me what you see here. What surprises you? Whose technique looks best to you? Obviously, we're just seeing their popups on a small-ish right-hand wave. They would adjust their technique in different types of surf (larger, steeper waves, etc), but the wave pool gave us a rare opportunity to see how their pop ups differ when they're all on the exact same wave.

This is sooo helpful.

Most videos on popping up show all kinds of weird and different things that, after seeing this, aren't what the pros do at all and just make it more confusing.

So good to see how they do it to have something actually useful and good to emulate and try to work toward.

As I age, I've noticed my pop up suffer the most. I used to surf almost every day and then family and a real job took more priority. As we age, we need to be more diligent about training so when we DO get a chance to go we're not floundering. I blow waves these days because I've lost that youthful snap. It's heart wrenching, really. Once I'm up, I'm golden but the pop needs work...
Nice video but one thing I don't think you're taking into consideration is the different builds everyone has which may have something to do with they're preferred pop up.

Why do they swing their right arm in a semi circle when they pop up for the natural footers?
xyzct
xyzct - 6 years ago
For the beginners watching this ... a common error is grabbing the rails, rather than putting the hands flat on the deck. If you correct this mistake, you'll see a HUGE improvement in your pop ups.
John Hoover
John Hoover - 6 years ago
It seems as if here are commonality between at least half of these surfers:

1) back foot lands first, sometimes well before the front. and that foot is used to help push the front foot thru (even on Slater, if you look closely, his back foot still lands 1st).
2) hips twist to raise inside/rear hip
3) front hand (same side as the front foot) is usually well ahead of the "back" hand, and both hands seem canted in the same direction toward the inside of the board giving more room to swing the front foot through (eg, hands facing more left for goofie riders).
4) head/eyes facing down the line in direction they want to go
5) back arches and chest raises before the push on the hands
6) hands on board until both feet are placed,
7) stay low and crouched until that hands leave the board.

i've thought a lot about this vid, and these takeaways have helped my pop-up immensely! it is not so much of a pop-up, but a quick powerful step up , and realizing that allowed me to keep in contact with my board, staying low and to be in the surf position once i remove my hands from the board. at least this is how it works for me.

thanks Brent!
Glen MacLachlan
Glen MacLachlan - 6 years ago
Wow, these are excellent insights, thank you! After almost 40 years of surfing (I'm 47) my pop up has now decided to start giving me problems. I struggle to place my front foot far forward enough, which means you're bulldozing water right from the start. Point 1 and 2 seem to work together - push off your back foot and twist your leading hip forward, and your front foot should land on the "x" every time. Gonna try this today, thank you!

Love this content, nice work. Contests are an amazing source of learning as we see the pro's in more relate-able conditions.... even better in slow mo! I've done the offset hands thing for a long while now. I find it "automates" my hip rotation better.

Great observations, was interesting to see not all surfers jump or pop both feet up at the same time. Also the fact about the hand placement one hand in front of another for some, I am a coach these are extra tips I can use.

Hey Brent,
I liked your video at the Surf Ranch, slo-mo of Pros getting to there feet on waves very interesting, I am 68 still Surfing although not snapping to my feet as fast. Personally, I would love to see a video of Surfers my age getting to there feet if you can find some, it might help us old guys learn better ways to jump up some of the old ways don't work so well anymore. I have been at it since I was 13 and hope to Surf as long as I possibly can, great video.

great info, much ignored and underappreciated stuff. Should have made the Silvana Lima wear a bikini though. Don't know what you were thinking there??? You probably don't whistle at girls walkin' down the street anymore either, I imagine. Ya know how so many people are "resisting" Trump these days? My main focuses these days are improving my fitness for surfing (very important part of the pop up) and resisting the onslaught of the #METOO movement. Thanks though, for this otherwise awesome posting.
Fernando Velloso Neto
Fernando Velloso Neto - 6 years ago
Great video, thanks for posting. There is a common assumption in surfing that the "proper" pop up is one where both feet land precisely at the same time. It makes intuitive sense as it minimizes wobble, and prevents any loss in speed. But naturally I've gravitated towards back foot landing on the traction pad earlier than front foot, especially when surfing backside. Great to see it's a legitimate way to do it, as it works fine for some of the best in the world.

Much thanks!! I've been surfing for 40+ years and recently suffered a back injury that is forcing me to re-learn the basics. Frustrating as hell, but I simply refuse to quit-- or go SUP. Since I can no longer get away with anything other than excellent technique, videos like this are incredibly helpful.
Therese Swan
Therese Swan - 6 years ago
Great Video! Thanks! The pop-up is probably the most important part of surfing in my opinion, since it sets everything else up. I was surprised to see how often the front knee hits, or almost hits, the chest. I would like to know more about the action of the knees. For example, it seems that in at least some of the segments, the pop-up begins with the knees, which help push the hips off the board. This is hard to see and I'm wondering what others think.

Jason Daniels

Awesome video, I'm always watching the pop up in the clips, assuming they show it in the shot. They all seem to be a couple inches further towards the nose than most people are comfortable with but there's also probably more rocker in these boards than the normal board in the lineup. Either way, great to watch in slo-mo. Bottom line here appears to be weight forward, head down, angle yourself down the line and dont grab the rails, hand plants on the deck. Thanks again, great video!

Hey Brent, great footage, back when i was younger, i didn't really think much about my pop up, just sorta happened, now that I am a bit older...and a bit heavier, my pop ups don't always come so easy, my hand placement was always more forward before, but now im going over the handelbars more often. these clips really emphasize getting your hands almost down to the waist, not natural for me...so im practicing... re learning how to do it right LOL

At 64 years old, my pop ups aren't from lack of technique. I was always good at fast pop up. Unfortunately age slows me down a bit and I'm riding 8.0's now, not 5.8's ;) Just keep on surfing!

Good idea to focus on this. The pop up is probably the one thing that keeps people from surfing. If you can't pop up, you wind up on a boogie board.

Post Disclosure World
Post Disclosure World - 6 years ago
The most difficult aspect of surfing, IMO, is popping up on a take off that isn't early. Any beginner can get to their feet if they catch the wave early. It's the later take offs that require much more finesse and athleticism. I think it's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a lot of instruction on how to best pop up. "Find your own way" seems to be the most common method. Could you imagine using that kind of approach in tennis, or martial arts, or anything else?

Great Video, thank you so much! Iˋm very tall (6 foot 4), so I just canˋt for the life of me popup from my feet. They just dangle behind the board. No way I could put my toes on the board. In the slo-mo I am pretty sure I see a few of them (John John Florence, Joel Parkinson, Kolohe Andino) popup with their feet off the board. Basically pushing off of their thighs. I get the impression that itˋs ok to popup from the thighs. I tried to watch good Surfers in the lineup. But at that exact moment, there is just no way of telling precisely what they do with their feet. Too much spray, movements too fast. So thank you again.
Martijn Dejong
Martijn Dejong - 6 years ago
When I did not feel comfortable yet with pup-ups I always put my rear foot on the track pad while paddling, this way you only have to place your front foot on your board. I always grab my board by the rail to maintain control in the first few meters (in case I had to replace my foot).

While there may be some unique or "signature" ways certain surfers "pop-up" on their boards, nearly all surfers "get up" on their boards according to many factors at the moment; their position on wave, late -vs early take off, steepness of face, speed of wave, etc. All the surfers you depict will "pop-up" very differently depending on what their riding, what the wave is doing etc.
What might be interesting is to take the same surfer and compare how he "pops-up" on different types of waves, under differing conditions, on different boards, etc.
oladulce
oladulce - 6 years ago
Started surfing as a shy 13 yo girl- no coaches, nobody to give tips for improvement but still had fun and never knew the difference. Many years of trial and error to find what worked for me, but 48 yrs later it's harder to undo some of the bad surfing habits that are ingrained. Take-offs are a key area needing improvement for this 61 y.o. girl still riding shortboards. Great slo-mo in this video shows how far down the wave these guys paddle in before planting their feet- definitely something to work on. Appreciate the video-thanks.

Those who plant their back foot noticeably before their front foot.
Are they pushing with their arms and stepping the front foot through the shoulders using that back foot on the traction pad?
Max Nuccio
Max Nuccio - 6 years ago
Did you compare a few of each surfers pop ups? Perhaps their technique is not the same every time and certainly it would be interesting in steeper hollower powerful waves as well! My guess is that each person has a unique body type and so needs to figure the best way for their physique to flow with the waves?
Oliver Miller
Oliver Miller - 6 years ago
Great video. I would like to see the same sort of film but in real time. You point out that all surf clips start way to late, (I love to see the wave roll in) but also slo-mo can also be unhelpful because waves certainly don't come at you slowly when you're in the water! Im a beginner and really appriciate your work, thanks.
kimberlee teeter
kimberlee teeter - 6 years ago
Putting your hands on the deck when standing up also helps the board to push over the ledge and get into the wave. Begger waves like Teahupoo they will grab the rails while standing because they are going to be grabbing the rail for stability in the tube, so grabbing the rail while standing allows them to not have to move their hand again. But they will still push down with the other hand to try and push the board over the ledge to get into the wave and make the drop and get under the lip.
kimberlee teeter
kimberlee teeter - 6 years ago
Most beginners actually grab the rails. Their fingers will be on the underside of the board, and they aren't able to put even pressure on the board and it wobbles from side to side. As you get more advanced, you put your hands on the deck and it puts pressure straight down so the board doesn't wobble when standing up.
kimberlee teeter
kimberlee teeter - 6 years ago
They stand up differently indifferent waves or taking off into a wave early or late. A lot of standing up is pointing your board down the wave. That's why they rotate their hips. Its points the board down the line for them.
Hannah Cooke
Hannah Cooke - 6 years ago
Really interesting video. I’ve always been interested in seeing how the pros actually paddle out in different scenarios and how they use the rips or get under/over the waves when heading out to the back but that type of footage is always hard to come by - maybe something to consider for your next video?

geoff fischer
geoff fischer - 6 years ago
This is great. I always feel cheated by the lack of pop-up action in most surf vids. I'm really interested in this because I'm nearly 60 and popping is becoming harder by the week. Anything I can use to slow my gradual descent back to being a kook is much appreciated . Thanks
Taha Nasser
Taha Nasser - 6 years ago
It almost seems like they make sure to take off at the appropriately critical section of the wave such that as long as they clear their upper body off the deck of the board high enough, they can swing their legs forward and upwards just using gravity. Something that most surfers struggle with, especially when transitioning from longer boards to shorter ones, is having an anchor to push your feet off with during the pop up. This footage seems to prove the theory that some coaches have that you 'swing' your legs forward into your chest and let gravity do the rest.

Another interesting thing to point out for next time Brent, and therefore, help lots of poor mistaken beginners or low level amateurs is the point on the board where they place their hands on the push up. It's something crucial and often barely noticed. Most of them push up shoulders high or even further ahead, whereas I recommend getting as close to your hips as your physique allows.
Iván Rivero
Iván Rivero - 6 years ago
My gf recently caught me on camera popping up, and I'm frankly amazed (in a funny way) of my own style. At this video speed I seem to spend at least one extra second standing on my hands, feet floating, before I land them on the board. I'd love to show you.

strelnikoff7
strelnikoff7 - 6 years ago
It seems to me that almost all of the surfers have their back foot planted (touch the board) before the front foot does. I.e. not at the same time. If you look closely, Kelly's back foot is already in position by the time his front foot is where it's supposed to be.
Bill le skeep McCoy
Bill le skeep McCoy - 6 years ago
Brent, thanks for the comments, but I don't see anything which could be called "correct" because as a lifelong surfer, we all adjust to the wave we are in, for that wave's position and our balance at the time. It seems to be each surfer applying the pressure for balance where they are and in the wave they are in. Over analysis of this seems needless. But thanks for your sincere effort to portray the positioning. Never thought much more about it.

Came here from Reddit and lo! It's Brent (hi buddy). So, I thought I was the only one in the world who wanted this exact thing. Great insight. I'd love a bit more of your thoughts on the launch angle upon takeoff. Most seem to be in that solid 45-degree angle across the wave, but it varies a bit, and why?

I've been grabbing the rails sometimes when I pop up. Looks like I'll be pushing the board from now on.
Iván Rivero
Iván Rivero - 6 years ago
Hi Jason! I totally recommend open palm push-up pop up mate. The surface you are supporting your body upon when grabbing the rail is smaller and on many different axis that promote instability. Try getting your hands, palms wide open on the board as close to your hips as your physique allows you to. Feel like you want to stand for a while on your arms which work like legs during the pop-up. Don't rush it. What's more... try this. Surf some waves on your arms, with your legs still on the board, as long as you can, not trying to stand. Work that arm-balance out and you'll jump up cat like on your pop-ups. Good luck mate!

You can’t really break it down to a a science. In Medina’s wave you are talking about he was going backside which will be different if he goes frontside. Plus different techniques will be used on different kinds of waves: beach breaks, pointbreaks, etc. not to mention there is no wave the same

I've heard the back foot should be put in the area in the midle of the three fins so as to move the board easier.
Bryan K.
Bryan K. - 6 years ago
depends... back foot should be a bit more forward above the traction pad when you're pumping for more speed. then when you're about to hit the lip for a turn or snap you put your back foot all the way back towards the traction pad for maximum control

The common factor in all these surfers is that they are super fit. They are also surfing all the time. This means that their "standing up" muscles are at peak condition.
Rather than technique, I think that fitness is the primary ingredient in successfully getting to one's feet in the most critical situations.

I think more than the pop up the first pump matters, especially on these smaller waves. They all get an initial mid-faace pump right away to get extra speed off the take off.

These waves are the same. Their heads will be dropping foward because it's more of choppy waves. When it comes to hollow waves or late take off the head/back should arch. The head will act like a balancer in order to avoid pearling.

This angle view is so close you can absorb a lot of technique thank you man!

Great video. All I’d say is that every one of these surfers still put the back foot on first (they just did it faster than others) and this is the best way to teach it to someone instead of just saying “pop up”
If they slow it down and learn it in steps like your wonderful video, there’s no chance of picking up bad habits
Anthony Marquez

I love slow mo’s of the best pros surfing. I think it’s such a subtle art that they have uniquely perfected. I personally love watching entire waves surfed by them in slow-mo to see and study technique. JJF is one of the best at late take offs and watching him pop-up and see where on the wave he is and where his eyes are looking is incredible to watch/study in slow-mo.

I wish there was more vids like this the only problem is there catching waves in a wave pool designed by Kelly slater don't u think that theses waves are probably easier to paddle into then almost any other real waves out there? I mean if u told theses pros that they couldn't paddle at all just Aline themselves and just pop up or one arm or only 2 strokes total they could still probably catch these wave pool waves?need them in real conditions in mushy crap were the waves are ussally like for beginners ?a lot different

Michael Angelos
Michael Angelos - 6 years ago
I have had nerve damage on my left groin area that left my left leg slow to pop up. So I would pop up goofy-footed and then throw my leg around to get it in surfing position. Now, that helps because I can pop up goofy-footed. And now I'm going to try to learn to surf goofy-footed. I actually went right back side the other day without thinking about it. That was cool. I'm regular footed. I'm a pretty good Surfer but that damage to my nerve on my left side made it very hard just to pop up.

Xiilab once you learn how to surf you will know what I mean. Everybody’s body is different and we ride boards that fit our own body type. Therefor there pop ups will be slightly different. Stop watching pop ups and go surfing.

xiilab - 6 years ago
Jeff K to you maybe. To others including myself it's very useful analysis of something that doesn't come naturally. I'm learning at 39 y/o and have practiced dry land pop ups for hours and it's really helped my pop up in water...understanding how the body moves into position has been invaluable
1982mako224
1982mako224 - 6 years ago
I've surfed with a number of top pros over the years including several featured in this video. (Surfed with the fathers of two of the surfers in the video as well....dang I'm getting old) Out of all of them Gabriel Medina has the technique that stands out the most to me. He has an uncanny ability to get into the wave and get to his feet earlier than anyone. In a gutless wave he can get to his feet and get his first pump in further out than most advanced surfers and even pros can pop up. He can get into a wave before it is peaking. Easily a full body length or more further out than his peers. This is an incredible advantage. Even in this video you can see that his technique is unique compared to the rest. Because he is in so early he can generate that much more speed. No doubt growing up this technique also boosted his wave count in crowded lineups which also helped him progress to the pro level rapidly. It all starts with the pop up and believe it or not the smaller and weaker the waves are the more critical it becomes. Split seconds matter.
Fernando Velloso Neto
Fernando Velloso Neto - 6 years ago
Great point - he is also known to ride board with significantly more volume than anyone else on tour. I think that's probably part of the reason why he's up and pumping earlier than anyone else, although I'm sure technique also is part of it.

Angel Tovar

is grabbing the handrail to pop up a bad habit?
Iván Rivero
Iván Rivero - 6 years ago
Hi Angel! I totally recommend open palm push-up pop up mate. The average even surface on the board you are supporting your body upon when grabbing the rail is smaller and on many different axis that promote instability. Try getting your hands, palms wide open, on the board as close to your hips as your physique allows you to. Feel like you want to stand for a while on your arms, which work like legs during the pop-up. Don't rush it. What's more... try this. Surf some waves on your arms, with your legs laying on the board, as long as you can, not trying to stand. Work that arm-balance out and you'll jump up cat like on your pop-ups. Good luck mate!
EN d

I don’t know why but it annoys me when someone who clearly doesn’t surf try’s to explain anything about surfing. Good footage but cringeworthy commentary. Kinda makes me wonder how you ended up there documenting one of the best new things in our sport instead of someone who... you know... actually cares about it enough to watch one or two contests so you can at least pronounce people’s name right. The guys at WSL did all the work for you there bud. All you had to do was give a shit. Good luck on your “pop ups” though. I’m sure knowing which foot jordy puts down first will make you much better.

Thanks for posting, cool observations! Since the mid 90s when I was just learning, I've always wanted to see more pop up footie just cause it's something we can all actually apply...as much as we try and pretend to take mental notes on how to do air reverses and sit-up recoveries in the whitewater. How about some positioning, angles, and paddling stuff, esp in steeper waves. Not 10 foot pipe, but like little salt creek tubes or something? I'm still haunted by botched takeoffs from like 8 years ago on account of like a few degrees of angle or one stroke too few.

When popping up on a wave compared to practicing on dry land you have to pop up like your going down hill.

Angus Chen
Angus Chen - 6 years ago
one interesting thing to note is how low their heads come down when paddling in. Only Gabriel medina keeps his back arched the whole time. For most people, on their last stroke, they drop their heads and chest almost straight down to the board. This helps to keep the nose of the board down in most cases. How much you do this will depend on your position on the wave and speed of paddling. Pop up is also angled to the right to get them going in the right direction - with hands also keeping extra pressure on the inside rail on the push up. Eyes are always focused on the next section of the wave.

Once standing, the pros are compressed and immediately un-compress for a first speed-generating pump.

Carissa's chin actually rests on the board for a second. I surfed with a pro in Indo once and all his boards had pressure dings on the deck near the nose where his chin would hit for those last couple strokes before popping up.
Surfmus
Surfmus - 6 years ago
All that will be contrary if it's a late take off or for hollow waves, hence the arching on the back it's a most.
SuperCrackerjacks
SuperCrackerjacks - 6 years ago
I totally agree. It's all about balance (forward/back) and being at the right place. At first you back is a bit arched and when needed you can transfer your weight more forward lowering your jaw
Theodore Frank

Putting the head and chest down on the last couple of strokes is crucial. It's a complete game changer for catching more waves.

I gotta say this is great! Such an overlooked thing in surfing. The pop up and then your footwork sets up everything. And the different styles of hand placement. Grabbing both rails, grabbing one rail with one hand on the deck, or two hands on the deck. Great stuff!
Angus Chen

This is very valuable footage. When I was learning/working on my popup I would spend a lot of time watching pro heats trying to analyze exactly how they paddled into a wave and popped up
Bharkatron
Bharkatron - 6 years ago
This is amazing footage and, in my opinion, the approach you take on this video is very valuable and not something I had seen focused before...
I used to be involved in professional tennis prior to learning to surf and and I had always been flooded by millions of HD slow motion videos of things such as Federer's serve or Nadal's forehand (+100k results for each of these, for example), so it came to me as a shocking surprise that, when I looked for similar studies done with professional surfing in order to take a look at how the pros did it and try to realize what I was doing wrong and how I could do it better, I basically found no footage, especially concerning the pop up moment.
I may be speaking for myself and others may look at this as something trivial, but I believe that these six minutes you brought before us are very rich in showing the fine details of how each surfer tackles this critical moment in waveriding and how they compare between each other, especially when the wave is the same for everyone.
At the end of the day, this won't make me surf like Slater, but for someone like me, who never had surfing classes but instead got hold of an old beaten softboard missing one fin, pointed that thing at the shore, paddled like a maniac, tried to stand up, fell and proceeded to scrutinize what had gone wrong, wave after wave, session after session, trying to correct myself and improve out of casual feedback from friends and self evaluation, this is nothing short of pure gold and a tool that ultimately may help me improving my surf and result in me having more fun in the water! Thanks you very much for releasing this, man! :)

Joe Wang
Joe Wang - 6 years ago
I'm sure at the highest level, the intricacies of the pop-up are more critical but, as a shitty-to-mediocre level surfer, I rarely actively think about my hand/feet positioning on the pop-up. It's almost instinctual because I'm just trying to get to my feet as fast as possible the moment I feel the wave picking me up. My mind is more focused on being in the right position (in relation to the wave) and paddling fast enough to match the energy of the wave. That said, I am mindful of how I use my weight - I put as much weight as I can towards the nose when I'm taking off to compensate for the weight going towards the back once I'm up.

I first learned to surf around 12 , had a friend of a friend teach me, (she had surfed around the world, a good ten years older) first thing she did was have me practice my pop up just on Mg board in the sand. Haven’t met anyone else that was taught like that. From then on it was just getting a feel for timing and carving but could catch the smaller waves at my beach no problem.
