An ollie is a flat-water pop where you jump off the water using only your board and body — no kicker needed. Shift your weight to the tail, spring off the back of the board, and level it out in the air. This skill opens the door to ollie-based tricks and hitting obstacles from flat water.
Press the tail down first, then pop by extending your back leg
Level the board out by bringing your front knee up
Keep the handle close — it's easy to lose balance if your arms extend
Start small and build height gradually
Practice in both regular and switch stances
Work on your timing by jumping over buoy before ollieing onto obstacles
