Surfing takes practice like all things, with time it begins to connect more and more. As we start catching more waves, getting out into the line up, going for bigger fast waves, and starting to ride that wall – your pop up will also have to shift to make those things happen. Faster take off to catch faster waves. That being said, here we are going to walk you through Surf Salutation SEA, the third variation of pop up, to get you ready to catch those bigger faster waves.

We started with surf salutation A were we imitate the first kind of pop up where you stepping into your surf stance. 

Then progress to Be where we slide the feet up.

And now we arrive at S E A  sea were we jump and land in our surf stance.  

We encourage you to watch and read along, starting your practice on the mat and then taking for a ride in the water.
