    i remember learning in the early 80’s, another good way to start is a standing waist deep and starting from that position, you have to catch the wave to be able to stand up…..and yes the longer the board the more stable for learning

    depending on your …
    depending on your height, u may want to try a longer board to learn. maybe rent a 9-10 foot funboard and try it. if your sinking, you shouldnt be using that board to learn. its either too small for your skill or its waterlogged. either way, you need a different board to learn with. if you try a funboard and instead of sinking you just stop, try waiting longer than you think you should before standing up. if that still doesnt work, your probably standing too far back on the board.

    Don’t go on the knees. Its incorrect. If you go on your knees, you won’t be able to balance on your board. When you catch the wave, grab the rails and do the pop up. Its hard to do at first because beginners are scared of falling. Just keep trying the pop up man.
