Listen "Land pop-ups are a big, fat lie (well, kinda)"
Episode Synopsis
This week’s popup is poppin’ off. We’re calling BS on the myth that dry land pop-ups are the key to getting better at surfing. Sure, they build strength—but if you’re wondering why your living room practice doesn’t translate to wave magic, we’ve got answers (spoiler: it’s physics). We break down why popping up in the water is actually easier, how your board helps you, and why muscle memory on a yoga mat isn’t the same as in motion. A fiery little rant—with love—for every beginner stuck between the floor and the surf.
