TeleOpenG wrote:My question is around pop up and pearling. I am working on paddle speed, keeping the nose low and my weight balanced. My pearl problem could still be due to poor execution of those. However I wonder if I am waiting too late to pop up. I am really waiting until I really feel the wave push me but by that time I wonder if I have waited too long. I often pearl around this time.

The problem was that I kept forgetting to scoot back on my board when I wanted to catch a wave and, therefore, my board was pearling (in part because of my leisurely popup and being too far forward). Once I scooted back, I could take my time on my popup and the problem was solved.

jaffa1949 wrote:Another question that fits in nicely for an answer, is the pop up is part of the wave catch and often assists in actually catching the wave!
Popping up after catching the wave has the potential for all sorts of interesting wipeouts, but usually if successful only gives a different take off white water ride!

NO, that is the wrong approach. Don’t adhere to rigid dance steps. You constantly needs to adapt to the ever changing wave surface. Sometimes you have to pop up quick, sometimes you need to stay down longer. Learn the wave, listen to what the wave is telling you.
