Pushing Up

Once you have worked out your correct positioning, the next progression is to push up.

The push up is to prepare you for the stand up, it requires you to strongly push your upper body up creating an arch in your back and giving the maximum amount of clearance between your chest and the deck.

An even amount of power should be used by each arm to keep the surfboard stable and in trim.

Once again your head should be up and looking forward.
