While the pro's make it look easy, standing up on a surfboard with that clean, fluid motion takes a bit of practice.

If you're a bigger, taller kinda person, then you already know that when it comes to surfing, you're at a disadvantage during the learning stage. Good news! With a few simple tricks, you'll be standing up with that super slick Hawaiian grace in just a couple of waves. You can even perfect your technique in the lounge room!

The father and son (and occasionally daughter) team from iSURFTRIBE have been on the user submission video trail of late, and this week Eric Black from Indiana sent them a video of his pop-up, saying that he's struggling a little. His front foot isn't getting far enough forward, or he's getting stuck down low, or simply just falling off.

Sound familiar?

Watch the video below to see three common mistakes that tall people make when standing up on a surfboard.
