You aren't actually browsing and up unless you're able to popup and stand on the board whenever it is on a tide. The action of popping up is still a very scary endeavor at first, yet it's the key to surfing success. Getting the hang of this vital surfing movement is in fact just a matter of practice. Practice, practice, practice. Most beginners find that owning a pop-up in the beach helps exceptionally before attempting it from the drinking water. Learning this skill is really very good exercise and builds strength and muscle.
