Yep, I made most or all of these errors the only time I've been surfing. Then again it was my 50th birthday and I'd never so much as touched a surfbord before that day, so I think I did OK considering. But if I had the chance I'd watch this video again and then get out there and work on my pop-up.

Thomas Rebotier - 7 years ago

Pretty good except for #10. Look up Kelly Slater vids, or for that matter look up your own vid at 3:15 to 3:20: the kids hands are NOT level. That 3-6 inches difference lets you position sideways so much faster it's indispensable in some waves...

Bass JB - 7 years ago

Cat's Eye - 8 years ago

There are two important errors missing, pushing too close to the nose, or too close to the tail, both makes you sink and fall (close to the nose makes falling more interesting though, with a nice catapult style on bigger waves)... ;)
