A few ways to improve your popup:-
1. keep your legs together, this helps you with a clean popup.
2. keep your hands laid flat on the board when popping up, don't grab the sides. (rails), this will stop the wobble effect.
3. keep your hands underneath you
4. if you have problems getting your legs under put one hand slightly in front of the other. (1 inch), this will help you pivot your hips to get up cleaner into it.
5. get up in one quick motion, don't kneel. speed is key, don't take your time.
6. practice your popup's at home
7. get someone to video you in the surf and play it back - you'll spot problems, i.e. slow or trailing back leg etc.
8. do pressup's, try to do 20 or more 4 times a week, this will increase your strength.
