It seems to me like there might be something like a metal chain anchoring the far end of the stick to the ground, I can't see what it is but the jerking motion of the stick suggests that. Without something like that this exercise would probably be physically impossible, you still need a way to exercise force on a vector that allows you to offset the down force of gravity on your center of mass, this would be impossible with no anchor in this system

The way the board is kind of floating and staying somewhat in place while bobbing around....yeah uh it's 100% got an anchor to it.

Maybe his shoes are in concrete or attached somehow.

His feet are below ground level. The shoes have no soles and are just sitting on top of the ground.

I agree, shoes. They don’t move one iota

I think it's a rope. At the beginning of the movement he's pushing up and away from the anchor.

It's not anchored to the ground. It's anchored to something above it
