| The jump up method uses strength and power
from the shoulders and chest combined with a spring off the toes.
For this method the knees are eliminated all together. |
 |
Lie on the surfboard with correct body position
with your hands holding on to the rails at the chest line and ready
to push up. Do a few half push ups taking your weight in the shoulders
and pushing
up onto the toes just to get the feel of the power that will be required
to jump to your feet.
|
 |
| Give yourself a count of 1, 2, 3 and then
attempt to jump to your feet by springing off the toes. Use the strength
in your shoulders to give maximum clearance from your chest to the
deck, spring off your toes, bring your front leg up and twist your
hips at the same so you can place your front foot on the chest line
and facing across the deck. At this stage you should still be holding
on to the rails to keep yourself steady. From this position you should
be able to stand up into the correct surfing style. |
 |
| This may take a few jump ups to
perfect, each time notice where your front foot is landing on the
deck and try to improve it with each jump up. Once you feel you start
to become confident you should enter the surf and give it a go on
a wave. |
| Remember all your wave catching
skills, do not try and jump up too early, paddle first, feel the wave
hit, add a couple of power strokes, bring your hands to the chest
line and jump up when you feel ready. Make sure you have caught the
wave before you attempt to stand up. |
