Pop up trouble

Postby Surfer 22 » Sat Sep 29, 2012 9:17 pm

Today I went out and totally sucked. I could not pop up. I have been surfing for about a year now. I notice when I pop up my hands stay on the deck, is this good? I find that when I pop up its hard to stable any advice? Ps I am riding a 6 foot 8 fish.

No, you are just having an off day, you get less of them as you get better. As a begginer I had days that I caught nothing, or that I could not get out at all, or I felt that I was in the way of everyone, and then I did better, and they it happened again, and then I had an awesome day, and then I sucked again...

You ever try golf? I love and hate it, barely play it. Sometimes I land the green really close to the hole, sometimes I shank and it ends up in someones back yard and I take off running in case I broke a window... you get the idea...
