A great pop up ~
There’s many ways to take off on a wave, and a quick pop up is one of the most useful! On longboards especially, there’s room to play with pop ups and various foot placements when our feet land on the board. It is similar to a jump in yoga, and requires use of our core to pull our feet up under us. A great way to build the muscle memory for this, is to do this in the comfort of your own home on the floor! Practicing on land helps develop that muscle memory so that each and every wave we have the confidence to pop
Up and take off!!
A great pop up sets up the rest of the wave well, and it useful for riding boards of all sizes!! Secret tip~ take a bit breath in as you pop up, it sets up the rest of the wave beautifully!
