AndAme Investments and BCG Advisors CEO and president Bill Scuorzo supports struggling companies and helps clients reduce employee benefits costs. Outside of his work, Bill Scuorzo stays active by surfing.
One of the basic surfing moves is the pop-up. Surfers can practice this technique virtually anywhere, including on the floor, and the move is an essential part of learning to surf.
To successfully pop up, lie face-down on the board, and place your hands flat on it. The ideal placement of your hands is in the middle of the board on either side of your chest. If you attempt a pop-up when you are too far forward on the board, you increase your risk of nose-diving.
Next, lift your chest with your arms while you keep your hips flat on the board. From there, slide your knees up between your hands so you are kneeling in the middle of the board.
Slide up your dominant foot, and rest it flat on the board. Follow with your other foot, and you will be standing on the surfboard with your knees bent. Keep practicing until you can pop up quickly.
