How to Fix Your Surf Stance

In this video breakdown, we’re working with Eli. He is an absolute charger and catches some heavy waves, but his progression is being held back by one major thing: his stance. When you pop up with your knees splayed outward, your center of gravity shifts over the outside rail of your board, making it very hard to drive down the line or initiate a turn. We break down the mechanics of the Functional Surf Stance and look at footage of World Champion John John Florence to show you exactly how to align your knees, hips, and arms for maximum speed and control. In this breakdown, you will learn: Why the wide, splayed-knee stance is killing your speed and control. How a simple tweak to your front foot angle can instantly fix your back knee. Why your back arm needs to point forward, not drag behind you. Pro-level stance analysis featuring John John Florence. At-home pop-up and surf-skate practice to build the right muscle memory. 🏄‍♂️ Watch more real-life coaching in our Video Breakdowns Playlist:    • Video Breakdowns   0:00 - Intro & What Eli is Doing Right (Charging!) 0:59 - The Stance Mistake: Splayed Knees = Weight Over Outside Rail 3:45 - Fix #1: Tucking the Back Knee (The Front Foot Angle Trick) 4:44 - Fix #2: Back Arm Placement 6:16 - Pro Surf Stance Breakdown: John John Florence 7:25 - Why the Functional Surf Stance Gives You More Control
