try golf

tissues???

I recon how you get up is irrelevant, as much as whether you can stay up.
Maybe try hand stands
Otherwise get a knee board

Yes. What GPA said.
It's probably putting your knee on the board that is making you stand up wrong foot forwards.
All the time that you have a knee on the board, the board is unstable and you crouch there waiting for everything to get stable before you stagger to your feet.
By that time the best part of the wave is probably gone.
The trick is to go from lying on the board paddling to crouching on both feet in one flick up.
Put your hands on the side of the board as though you are about to do a push up and then snap up to your feet in one fast snap move with one foot forwards of the other but still crouched down.
You can then go to the stand up position as the board drops away under you on the wave.
You can practice this on the floor or out on the grass.

^^^ lol @ that last pic

Haters. Will always be hating...

Thanks guy's I have been doing those exercises a bit probably I should do them more....
The thing is for those who didn't got the point, the standing up technic I have, it is shocking, once I stand up I can surf well I can actually ride the waves but the standing up technic is the reason why I cannot improve my surfing. I notice that when I surf decent size surf around 2 to 3ft max. i do it so quickly maybe because the face of the way, the speed, but I hardly notice my knee. In the other hand when i surf small waves is when i notice it a lot it does bother me, I try with a longboard and the same thing. Anyway thanks to those with constructive comment, appreciated

Anyway I wanted to comment about SUPS because last week I was surfing Grunters and we were having such a good surf until a couple of SUPS come along and litterally stole every single wave. I got the ****s so much they should know that you cannot arrived to a spot and take over, show some respect for other surfers!!! They completly ruined the fun

whats your height / weight/ board you are riding?

Hi Saltiest, i normally ride a 7" Mc coy tuflite. my height is 1.68cm and i weight about 58kg. This board is really bouyant about 50 volume, it goes like a rocket !! i used it here at secrets all the time because of the waves. other times i have used a 6.9" single fin and a 6.6 thruster.

take some time on youtube to watch how good surfers take off. youll see that its rarely in a straight line to the beach and and they stand up as the board drops down the face. also the board isnt lying flat but rather pointing "downhill".
a 7ft board at 58 kg is going to get you into the wave early and stop all the above from happening so if you can ballacne on your feet, now is the time to ditch the big board, and stick to the 6'6".
