You’re doing it wrong… because you’re not doing it enough. Damn you, pop-up!

This week’s pop-up truth bomb comes from Kyla Peterson—surf coach, fearless leader of Surfin Fire Surf School in Oceanside, and longtime member of Girls Who Can’t Surf Good. She popped up for the first time at age seven, so... yeah, she might not get the whole “stuck on my knees” thing 😜—but she does know how to help you fix it.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why hip mobility might be your secret pop-up saboteur

• The harsh truth about progress if you’re only surfing once a week (don’t shoot the messenger)

• Kyla’s favorite land-based drills to speed up your pop-up—even when you're nowhere near the ocean

If your pop-up feels more like a pop-meh, this one’s for you.
