The pop-up assist generally creates a wedge between the body of the surfer or paddler and the deck of the surfboard, lifting the user's upper chest, neck and, head up from the deck of the board. The pop-up assist can also be collapsible, so that the obstruction of the wedge on the board is removed once the user “pops-up.
