A simple drill that improves your pop-up

A strong and stable pop-up starts long before you paddle into a wave.

This simple land exercise shows how the way you move your feet in a burpee directly affects your ability to pop up on a surfboard.

In this video, you’ll see the difference between an incorrect movement: feet not reaching the hands, landing on the toes, creating instability and the correct one, with feet flat and close to the hands for full range, explosiveness, and balance.

Master this on land, and you’ll notice more control, power, and confidence in the water.
