You need to practice popping up with your board in the sand for a long time before you go out. If you can get that one motion pop right to where you feet need to be to have things balanced, that's the whole trick to it. After that it's just a lot of paddling. Takes a bit of work, but once you have it, you have it. Feet have to land in the center, most of your weight on your front foot. Bla blah... find a surfer buddy to show you how to do it right.thanks man. Nice description , that sounds awesome . I've attempted to get up once in my life in Hawaii... Didn't do too hot, water is perfect over there
I've been recommended the long board by many over here. Gonna keep an ear open . Who gonna eat the bestt today? Hope we all do!
And yeah... either a long board, or what I call a pig board. Not a short 6 footer. You need something like an 8 or 9 footer.
So worth it. Even if you only do it once.
