Background music gets in the way,...Just friendly advice tone it down or have none, people want instructions and advice which you give well, music is ok for surf footage and elevators....

I've been surfing for 30 years and have never had anybody explain feet positioning on the pop-up as well. Thanks for the tips!

Great explanation on technique, and foot positioning. Very helpful. Thanks

Thankyou. Been an aussie surfer since 6, now 51. Broke my C3/C4 in my neck surfing after doing it for decades. Was paralyzed in the water, have a titanium plate and 4 X 14mm screws in my spine.Learnt to walk again and after 2.5yrs made it back....love surfing again. Your videos are very professional and I am learning from you as you seem to be a good teacher 😃.The breathing you mentioned is very important. Subscribed. 💮🏵️💗🏄🏄🏄🤟🤟🤟🇦🇺

By far the best explanation of the pop up , great job

Thank you, Marcelo! One of the most useful videos out here on the internet!

Best tutorial ever! Big thanks !

Very informative video, Marcelo you are a great at explaining these tips. Im going to put them to the test for sure

Thank you sensei, a lot of info in short video structurized, right to the point. Subscribed

Will be surfing tomorrow. I usually watch how to videos before going to get at least a bit of confidence 😂 I'll definitely apply this tomorrow! One of the great videos I've seen so far!

This was excellent , after 30 years of surfing this has been a game changer / you presented this very well / especially with the board template on the mat.

Thanks brother!!!! The best pop up and feet position VDO so far!!!! Can’t wait for the next tutorial!!!!

Awesome thank you. Focusing on fundamentals is so important. I was making rookie mistakes and making bad habits and then I realized I need to go back to fundamentals. It's a big difference.

Really nice tips. Nobody thinks to talk about these tips and so important ! I understand many thing thanks to you! Take you !!!

I watched several videos but i can say that this video gave me so much information out positioning of the legs. Excellent content, thank you

Excellent tutorial mate, well done 🙏🏼

So so good!!! Thanks very much!!!! Lot of info no teacher has told me ever! 🌊 greetings from Buenos Aires!

Muchas gracias! Me ha ayudado un montón, ya lo he puesto en práctica!

This is just the best ever video I have watched on posiioning of the feet. This has helped me progressso much. Wish you would make some more like this. Thanks, Lea from Australia😊

Very underrated lesson. It’s taken me literally 20 years to realise my back foot wasn’t far enough back. I grew up in fat weak waves so back foot was always up to get speed and flow. Back foot gotta be on the heal grip to do hi-Po moves.

Excellent! Thank you!

Great explanation of foot positioning! Thank you

Best pop up video on KZfaq well done

Gracias Marcelo!! Helped me correct a lot of errors in my pop up/posture/drive (:

Thank you brother!

Thank you so much, so productive!

Your tip about the back foot is the game change for me. I was trying to turn longboard, bending it exactly like you showed til I lose my balance and fall out the board. I'll try to put my back foot more closer to the tail to improve the board turns. Thank you very much, Marcelo!

IM A BEGINNER AND THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Fantastic video! Well explained and some stuff I'd never considered. Keep it up

Muy buen tutorial!! Enhorabuena y mil gracias!! Saludos.

Great fundamentals 😄 thank you so much 😄

I had some issues with the pop up. This video helps a lot!

Your explanation is really interesting. You are very precise compliments. One thing that struck me was that stretching mat with a surfboard pictured on it and the various hand positions. I'd like to buy one, do you know where I can buy it? Thank you so much 🤙

Excellent, really good tutorial!

Amazing video man thank you so much for these tips!! For someone that doesn‘t live close to the ocean, these types of exercises are absolutely vital!! But of course they are vital for any stoked surfer out there hehe 😄🤙

Thanks for the tips, can't wait for more content! I recently started learning how to surf and love how you teach it as a sport with a wholistic approach. Working on the fundamentals in order to improve is what I teach my students in Lacrosse as well so it's awesome to hear it from someone else. I'm making it a personal goal to go to El Salvador and get coached by you, my mom is from El Salvador and as a child I could never visit because she said it was too dangerous. Now that I'm older the beautiful beaches, meeting my family, and getting some surfing lessons sounds way too good to miss. Until then I'll be following your videos and using them to learn!

De las mejores explicaciones que he visto... A practicar se ha dicho!. Gracias 🤙

Thanks man helped me so much best pop up video

This was REALLY helpful. Thank you!

i really love the pictures on the wall!! thanks for the lesson..i gonna try tomorrow!

The knees position to back foot landing position reference is something I have never heard before. Thanks for sharing that! The hands too far forward is another key element of the pop up that very few online coaches teach, and it is crucial to land your front foot in the center of the string. If you have no room for you leg, your front foot lands on the heel side most of the times. Very very good techniques taught in this video, I will definitely share it around. But please, fix the sound. Music is too loud and I can barely hear you. Nice job man! You got a new subscriber!

great video very clear and motivating

this just changed my life. well. okay. but it helped a lot! thanks so much

Thank you bro!! Needed this rn 😊🙏🏼🌊🤙🏼✨☘️🌈✨

Excelente vídeo. Surfeo hace 8 años pero a mis 44 años cada vez me cuesta más el pop up. Y sobre todo de back side siendo regular. Estaría bueno q hagas un vídeo de back side. Graxias

Nice tips thanks man!!!

Great! Thank you

Thanks bro, really helpfull!

Legend, thank you

Brilliant 🤙🏄‍♂️

muchas gracias, excelente explicación.

Stoke! Great video, thank you! 🤙🏻

Thanks for the details

excellent tutorial

Thank you!

Great video Marcelo thanks. Where did you get the mat from?

you are a good teacher. thanks!

Such valuable info, so psyched to try this all out. Bravo for the info. Thank you 🙏

Great film Marcelo ( inhale, exhale) cheers mate

Very good lesson. I've had huge issues with pearling after stepping down to a smaller board. I am finally getting the hang of it after realizing my body position and weight is too far forward and consciously pop-up a lot further back. Having snowboarded my whole life the natural stance I pop-up into is to have the center of gravity in the middle of the board, with my feet position almost the same distance between the nose and the front foot, as the tail and the back foot. When I first started surfing I mostly used 65-80l boards and got into a bad habit to pop-up into forward heavy position but being so stable it worked anyways. Going down to a 50l board has been a harsh but good lesson.

GRACIAAAS POR ESTE EXCELENTE VIDEO! aunque ya surfeo desde 1976, sigo queriendo mejorar mis pop ups, como q no? es logico! voy a hacer tus ejercicios switch foot, todavia se me hace dificilisimo pop up switch! hey, also tu ingles es muy muy muy entendible, bravooooo! okis ciao

Great tutorial! Spot on information, especially about the knee and where the back foot lands. :)

Probably the best pop up video on youtube :)

Great video helped heaps

Best pop up video

Excelente! 👍👍

Yo great video. I'm surfing on rivers in the rocky mtns N America and focusing on my pop up at the start of my 2nd season here. Yo where do you get one of those mats with the surf board diagram on it?

Hola Marcelo mucha calidad de este Tutorial me puedes decir que marca es el mate que usas para entrenar Vale un saludo desde Lima Peru

Thank you its amazing!! can you make a video on how to surf a longboard?

Awesome Vid Cheers mate

Very helpful

Marcelo thanks for this. Where do you get those sick practice mats in the vid?

Thanks for the tips, subscribed! My only suggestion is to turn the music volume down - it was a bit difficult to hear your instructions with the music being at about the same volume as your voice.

Amazing video

Thanks, Marcelo do you know where cxcan I get one of the matt with the board drawing as you show on the video?

Cool video, very informative. Where can i find the mat tho?

Where can I find this practice mat?? Learned a lot from this video!

Hey, thanks for your videos. I have a question regarding tip of a toe and ankle position. In 8:40 I can see you land on your toes on your back leg not on your whole sole of a foot. Right now I am training inside so I am wondering if it is not better to land directly on a whole sole instead of toes. I think in water if you jump right on your feet you have more stability. Or? Thanks

Buenisimo video 🤙

thanks mate. popup always an issue for me. some sessions i nail it every time. but most of the time its a issue . one problem i have is i arch up for too long before poping up. i don't even know why i do it

Great video where can I find that mat you were using?

Shot bru. Good foot positioning tutorial

great tips, i look forward to more of them.. peace out from vanisle

ThanksMC

good stuff!

thank you bro

Awesome thxxx...

Nice vid! Avoid dragging your feet is another point, that'll slow you down, get your caught up in the lip and primary reason for taking off late.

Great Video amigo saludos desde Galveston Texas

Great vid…But what mechanics are you using to scoop your feet underneath you? Are you pushing off of one knee, both knees or just driving your front knee through as fast as you can?

great stuff! Would you say the „jump“ is better than the „chicken wing technique“? lower-end intermediate from Portugal here ;)

Great video. But, your explaining on a short board. Being a 6'0 tall Intermediate surfer, I ride a mid length 6'6. So, I always stand up on the middle of the board. I understand how to go forward to catch more waves and have stability. But, still don't understand how to pop up very far back...

Great summary on that topic! Where did you get your mat?

Very good lesson :) takes years to learn this listen to Marcelo hes epic!

Thank you for the video! I had pretty bad technique but I was fit enough (and the waves slow enough) for it to work. I have moved now to somewhere with faster waves and I went down to a 4' 6" board and my bad technique was no longer working.. I spent an hour practicing what you showed and changing my technique. I'm going surfing tomorrow I will let you know if this helped :')

Can you provide a link to the mat your using in this video? Thanks!

Great video bud, subscribed

Great video but the music is way too loud and the audio balance is mixed all the way to the right speaker. I had to turn off my right speaker to hear what you were saying.

Hi any link on Amazon where to buy that mat to practice? 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hello! Where can we buy the mat that appears on the miniature of the vid?
