| The step up method
breaks getting to your feet into two movements, it is slightly slower
than the jump up but still allows you to achieve your desired result
of standing up. Shoulder and chest strength is still required but
rather than using your toes to spring to your feet, the inside knee
of the back leg will be included to assist you in getting to your
feet. |
|
| Once again lying on the surfboard with the
correct body position. The first movement is to slide your rear leg
forward until it is angling out to the side from the hip, the inside
of the knee should be rested on the deck. |
| The second movement is to use your upper
body strength to push up and step your front leg hrough. As you gain
maximum clearance from the deck to your chest the front leg should
step up under the chest and the foot placed on the chest line. |
| It is important to twist your hips so your
foot is placed facing across the deck. You should be levering this
movement of the inside knee off the rear leg. |
| Continue to hold the rails at all times, if
your feet and body are front on (facing to the nose) make the effort
to twist your hips and adjust your footing, from here stand up into
the correct surfing style. |
When you go back into the surf on your first
few waves concentrate mainly on sliding your rear leg forward, this
is a technique that has been added but not practiced in the surf.
As you improve you
should add the step up to your feet. |
