Why you Need to Stop Using your Knees to Pop Up | Take Off Mistakes Explained - How to Surf

How do you stopppp? 💔

Sometimes I am too exhausted from paddling to take off with out using my knees. Beginners woes.

So what is the solution ???
How can i stop using my knee ???

you'll also create pressure points which quickly become spider cracks because your knees are bony and fiberglass is more fragile than it seems.

Not necessarily true. Using your knees and only your knees is actually the fastest way of landing on your feet. Especially useful when surfing really short boards. It has done very quickly from an extreme downward dog position so you get enough hip bounce.

Lmao your not anywhere near intermediate if your using your knees to pop up 😂😂

Any tips for surfer with bilateral hip replacements? I could pop up prior, but now cannot create enough space to get foot forward. I am strong, had a lot of pt and still no go. Same holds true in teaching yoga I cannot get leg forward between feet from down dog—-if that help,s understanding Much appreciate any ideas. On the water...

Nice thanks for the help ! First comment!
