Struggling With Your Pop Up?Â
YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
And the good news is you’re in the right place.
Does this sound like you?
-
You pull off waves you could have caught because you hesitate knowing that you might not nail your pop up in that critical moment.
-
Your pop up feels clunky, inconsistent, or just plain awkward, even on good days.
-
You’ve watched YouTube tutorials, tried different techniques, but nothing seems to stick.
-
You’ve been told “just do it faster” or “practice more,” but that advice doesn’t help your body move any better.
-
You want to surf with more confidence, flow, and ease but by the time you've popped up, you've missed the best section of the wave and have ended up in the whitewash.
You’re Not Alone
So many surfers feel this way, whether they’re just starting out or have been in the water for years. The truth is your pop up sets the tone for your entire ride and when it doesn’t feel quite right, everything else becomes harder too.
But that doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.
We believe your body is not the problem, it’s the guide. Every body can surf, we just need to figure out what works for your body and what it can do. This course is here to help you tune into your body, work with your nervous system, and find a pop up style that supports your surfing goals, not what someone else thinks you should be aiming for.
We’ve worked with surfers of all experience levels, body types, and learning styles. Many arrived feeling frustrated and unsure. But with just a few key shifts they started surfing with more flow, strength, and self-trust.
Wherever you’re at, your progress matters. You deserve tools that meet you there, and help you move toward the kind of surfing you want to be doing.

In Just a Few Weeks, You Could…

Feel calm, clear, and ready every time you paddle for a wave

Move through your pop up with ease—no more second-guessing, no more scrambling, more time to focus on where you're heading along the wave

You don’t need to be stronger, faster, or more “advanced.”Â
You just need a pop up technique that truly works for you and a way of practising that supports your body and nervous system along the way.
We’ll guide you step by step so you can build a pop up that feels stable, repeatable, and yours. Because when your pop up works, your whole surf experience can shift with less stress, more joy, and more waves under your feet.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Becks, the founder of Honu Honi Surf Camp
I’ve been teaching people to surf for over a decade and no matter someone’s age, body, or background, there’s one thing that makes the biggest difference in the water: their confidence in their pop up.
I’ve coached hundreds of surfers who felt frustrated, stuck, or unsure if their body was 'built for surfing' because someone has told them that it has to look a certain way to be right. I’ve watched the transformation that happens when they find a pop up style that actually works for them and supports their body, their nervous system, and their unique goals in the water. It's magical!
We created our Perfect Your Pop Up Course because we wanted to give people a way to feel strong, capable, and at home in their surfing without needing to rely on constant in-person coaching or good surf conditions. Also because we could easily fill a couple of whole lessons on the beach just chatting through the nuances of the pop up, and we want more in-water time than that!Â
At Honu Honi Surf Camp, we believe surfing is for every person, it's just a matter of figuring out how to make it work for you. This course is an extension of that philosophy, and we can’t wait to support you through it.


"Starting out, my pop ups were more down than up! Becks took the time to work with me to figure out the best way for me to adapt my pop up that worked for me."
- Eliza Blackstock

"There was a great balance between theory, training exercises, and just surfing to have fun."
- Anne Gallagher

"It improved my surfing skills but also my knowledge and understating of the ocean."
- Dave Kelly

What Makes Perfect Your Pop Up Different...
-
Unlike other surf courses, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all technique. We teach body-aware, nervous system-informed methods that help you build a pop up that actually works for you.
-
You’ll get real options, supportive coaching, and tools to practise at home so you can feel strong, confident, and ready in the surf, no matter your background or limitations.
