Advice for getting started in surfing is definitely strengthening your core and your shoulders and your back because if you don't have a strong back, especially in arms, you probably won't be able to catch a wave and especially pop up and I would definitely say practice a lot in the sand or at home. You can practice your pop up like on the ground with tape on the ground kind of as a stringer of the board. That's definitely what I've seen to help a lot of people. If you can get that muscle memory of not going on to your knees when you pop up on a surfboard and instead just going straight up to your feet, you'll be able to get the hang of it a lot quicker.
