here are 3 steps to pop up on a surfboard
Step 1: Create Time
This step is important because it gives you time to get into the correct position and prepare for the wave. By lying on your board in a cobra pose, you are able to generate power and momentum to help you pop up.
Step 2: Create Space
Lifting your knees off the board and into plank position creates space between your body and the board, which is necessary for you to pop up to your feet. It also helps you to maintain your balance once you are standing.
Step 3: Create Balance
As the wave approaches, you will need to extend your legs and pop up to your feet. Be sure to keep your weight centered on the board and your knees slightly bent. This will help you to maintain your balance and avoid falling off.
