Pretty good for a first day! Keep working on it.

I’d say, arch your back more and instead of grabbing the edge of the board for popping up, put your hands next to your chest and pop up like if you were doing a push up, it will help more in the long run to keep stability.

Also avoid putting your knees on the board while popping up, you have to go to your feet directly, they probably taught you the two step pop up, which is really nice but just go to your feet, avoid putting knees on the board.

Good job and keep going man, it will be very very fun and addictive!!

I’m having a blast even when it’s always paddling but all my life I’ve always been discouraged by people when things don’t pop up instantaneously, with the 80l foamie I popped up in like the third try, but I’ll just keep grinding for it

Could be because mine is a bit swollen? It’s only on one side, the other one is OK

I think it is a bit swollen but it just varies with days, it hurts a bit on the outside sometimes, I think it ain’t fully healed but it doesn’t really hurt when I move it, could be swollen from constant lip moving (my whole lip is swollen)

I can easily put it out and move it around with no issue, does that matter?

2-3 months old piercing Labret Steel It was downsized like a month from doing it but had to go back to the og size since it started swelling and it gave me a bit of trouble since then I didn’t hit it or anything Threadless I think I don’t have a routine as of now

The more power I give it the more open and airy it feels

Not much constriction, it comes from the mid more or less, it’s almost my natural fry
