Great helps! Thanks
I got a back pain, I'm 50+ and tryed this technics vs regular one and now I can keep on progressing on the surf with no pain.

Thank you for the video! I just had my right hip replaced 10 weeks ago and was wondering if I would be able to surf again. I'm goofy foot, so my left leg is the one that needs to bend with this technique. I think that will work! I may not be able to ride a short board like I used to, so I bought a 7'3" hybrid for more stability and ease of paddling.

Thank you so much! I'm a 13 year old just starting out surfing and I always relied on my knees to stand up, but as soon as I stood up from my knees I slipped off! This method is awesome and has helped me to get a quicker pop up to get more of the wave. Great video!

skatefulfill - 7 years ago

A popup is done with the knees and the arms. It is one fluid motion, prone to standing with both feet landing on the board at the same time. There is no time to do this chicken wing crab walk.

captRhay - 7 years ago

just recently started and im having trouble with the popup. this video gave me some real good tips. thnx!

Way helpful, thx so much

zachary malecka - 7 years ago

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the video it helped me a lot because I was transferring from a fun shape to a really nice Ripper board and it was really confusing on how to pop up on it and get really used to it so I think this video helped me a lot to get used to that board a lot quicker

Ah! I think this is going to be that happy medium to get me to finally stop using my knees, it's slowing me down so much! Thanks for this!

Ana Men - 8 years ago

Thank you for your videos!

lhavenothingtosay - 8 years ago

+iSURFTRIBE - excellent video, many thanks. I've really struggled with my using my right knee and practicing this on the floor has already made my pop feel so much smoother.

David Mac - 8 years ago

I retired this year at 59 and bought a longboard, being older and less flexible the pop up just happing for me. So I eat to many waves. I'm looking forward to trying the chicken wing pop up, I'll let you know.

Tori Peterson - 8 years ago

I'm a teen girl in Montana and went surfing for the first time last summer... I used my knees to get up almost every time but it felt more for balance than having a weak upper body... how do you keep your balance when getting up?

Endangeredidiot - 7 years ago

Tori Peterson make sure to find the centre of your board before popping up and when you do to have your knees bent and torso and arms pointing towards the direction youre headed.

Denise Laga - 8 years ago

EvA - 8 years ago

I have tried it but my knee keeps touching the water and that makes it hard to pop-up.. I'm very tall so when I surf on a shortboard and I try this it immediately touches the water. Am I doing anything wrong, are there any tips to avoid touching the water with your knee?

VincentA33 - 8 years ago

Hi atua 1 question I'm a intermediate surfer I need tips on a trick called a snap can you help me

Arie Tsang - 8 years ago

thank you so much! great tips!

Anonymoose - 8 years ago

Interesting tutorial! This is something that normally goes by so fast you don't even see it, but watching it step by step in slow motion, it all makes sense.

Atua has invisible tape on his mouth, right? He never goes for 7 whole minutes without talking. LOL

Katikati Ballers - 8 years ago

You should try surfing in opposite stance so if your goofy natural and if your natural goofy

Frank Pontello - 8 years ago

Corvux IX - 8 years ago

Hey dude do you lift weights? I'm pretty sure you don't get those muscles from only surfing so I'm curious. Anyway thanks, pura vida!

Matt Levy - 8 years ago

how do you send in clips?

Surfergirl 123 - 8 years ago

Instead of using wax on your board use sunscreen, I heard it kind of the same. Try the experiment!!!

Nadav Bareli - 8 years ago

Chris Petersen - 8 years ago

Another great vid!!

David EC - 8 years ago

what if i can't put my front foot in place with my hands in the board? It is like my arms are shorter than my legs from the bottom to the knee, i can do It in the ground slowly
(By now i'm puting It as i can and then i move It fast , but i always lose some speed)

David EC - 8 years ago

in the floor i can do It but i need to lift the Palms, just leaving the fingers*

Greggy - 8 years ago

Did you complete your Skate Boarding Birthday Party for your friend already? Atua is your back feeling better now?

surferbob - 8 years ago

Good job demonstrating Atua. I had a guy in SoCal tell me to knee board then pop up so I would get the timing down on my new shorter board which was not the way I was taught to surf.

Katia Revole - 8 years ago

Thank you for this.

bloodandwinearered - 8 years ago

LOL, I am just like everyone else, I love the popup videos. When he tried to teach Alec how to popup, he said "Just lift you chest not you hips." The first time Alec tried, he just lifted his hips and pushed back on to two knees.

DashFlash Gaming & More - 8 years ago

Chicken wing popup is awesome and solved the knee problem for me plus really helps on my hybrid board. Learned it from you guys & thank you very much!

GGG GAMER - 8 years ago
