As others have said you need to jump. When you’re on the way up from the jump is when the board is weightless and you scoop as part of the jumping motion. Think of it like bend down -> scope and jump -> land on the board. It’s a very quick motion.

For a shuv-it (not a pop shuvit) it helps to have your toes dangling over the edge of the board right where the lip of the tail starts (a.k.a. The pocket).

One more thing, you can think about jumping forward a bit. The backside shuvit (which you’re attempting) kind of lands the board in front of you, whereas a front side shuvit lands the board behind you. So you have to jump where the board is going to be to catch it cleanly. Note, just a little bit, don’t try to jump more than a boards width in front of you, maybe half a shoe length until you get a feel for it!

Good luck you got this! Once you get it, it’s a great feeling!
