Why do you need to be flexible when surfing pop-ups?
What are the disadvantages of being stiff?
You need to pop up instantly from lying on the surfboard.
Push the surfboard with your arms like push-ups
→ raise your upper body
→ curl your back and move your front foot knees against your chest
→ with your arms on the surfboard, move your front and back feet , Put on the surfboard
→ After putting both feet on the surfboard, release both hands from the surfboard
I can’t move my body well when popping up. I can’t move the front foot with my hands on the surfboard.
Pop-ups can only be smooth if your body is flexible.
・ The front foot cannot be moved so that it touches the chest.
・ The front foot cannot be placed in the correct position.
・ Because the position of the front foot is not stable every time, the balance is lost and the takeoff becomes unstable.
It is important to be able to do exactly the same thing every time.
In addition, the back foot must also be in the correct position. The backfoot should be placed in the middle of the three fins or slightly on the nose side. Beginners tend to place their backfoot on the nose side of the traction pad due to their stiff body. Placing the back foot in this position will result in instability. On both feet
The wider the width, the more stable it is. Beginners fall off the surfboard with instability due to the narrow width of their feet.
