How to FIX YOUR POP UP | Detailed Surf Lesson

In this video I'm covering two of my surfers as they progress their surfing, specifically their manoeuvres and take off / pop up, at one of my day-retreats at the wave pool in Melbourne.
We have a much more live, reality-tv feel style of this story to share but it was going to be a really heavy lift right now to get it all done and polished. I think it's something we'll film more intentionally at my Maldives retreats coming up September October and in Feb back at the pool.

I used to be spiteful towards surfing because it reminded me of my deadbeat dad but you’ve helped me move past that and find joy and peace in the sport, thanks!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Do it for you mate 🙏🏽🤙🏽 love it

[@IainCalvert]

Hey so I’m surfer one in this video and the amount I learnt in one day was amazing. I went from just about popping up on a backside wave on my “comfort foamie mini mal” to doing my first backside turn. Basically Kale said think sit into the bottom turn, then dig a shovel up the wave and then pretend you’re punching something at the top of the wave. First backside wave was 11am, 2nd was 2pm. If you’re considering doing a course with Kale DO IT! @kale thank you again

[@jayh567]

Thought that was you Iain. Nice progression!

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

How long have you been surfing, if I may pry?

[@sizzleslider4334]

Im not a beginner but I still enjoy watching all these beginner lessons. Killing it and adding alot of value to lots of people mate.

[@kevinokie9196]

Your content f*ing rocks, Kale. Thanks so much. It's been hugely valuable to me over the past few years.

[@liamjohnson4287]

Thank you so much, my pop-up was so slow I missed the wave of my life because I couldn't pop-up quick enough to cut across the face. This seriously helped.

[@NickSkye]

I just started surfing and your videos have been the biggest help ever. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner because now I'm hooked!

[@ETYSURF]

Everybody's same thought!

[@BlueHopi144]

Your regret will soon be cleared with your progressions . I love this channel too since i discovered it 2 days ago

[@traceyeales6497]

Great vid Kale!

[@Bentheamazingsufer]

As always so helpful kale thank you

[@betel1345]

Great job Kale! So clear, your talk through the clips and your focus on some of the key skills. Nice one

[@lahall399]

This was soooo helpful Thankyou kale ! I’m always at the wave pool and I saw myself in pretty much everyone knew of these examples- super clarifying!!!!!

[@Mizelipha]

Incredibly valuable content, will help my turns for sure!

[@luisbenitezofficial]

Grateful for your videos mate! Cheers

[@ETYSURF]

amazingly helpful Kale.

[@nancyshray4383]

Great teacher!

[@minaskalarakis9932]

I used your instructions to improve my SUP surfi g. I am an intermediate sup surfer but now i can do SO much more. I began to train with a surfskate as you suggested and changed my world. I use a coreban platinum plus sup which shape is very close a surf, of 8.6 feet 130 lit with me weighting about 94 kg.

[@szontomkiewicz6549]

Great value champ!

[@geomeltfloodsurfer]

Shout out to Kale Brock absolute legend watch his documentaries buy his books and fuck anyone else who disses my boy kale broccoli absolute legend bro keep up the great work can’t wait for more much bruv 🤙

[@Maxsnail]

now waiting waves ... ;) thx for all you teach very well

[@HamishBrown3]

Keen as for a session with you in melb. signed up to hear when bookings are available.

[@kcngos]

Kale, a great tip on teaching people to turn and carve hard is to get them scurfing. Ten minutes behind a boat is month's worth of time on a board for a beginner. They have time to move feet around and be comfortable and turn into harder and harder hacks. It's great for learning stial

[@fastchopping981]

Hi Kale! Thanks for this insightful vid! So good to see this big progress with only a few small changes. How would you “fix” the first surfer’s pop-up? Any advice on that? Cheers!

[@morganhirsch282]

Wicked video - thanks for the consistently informative and digestible analysis! Have you got any tips for not putting the back knee down at the pop up, like with surfer 1? I'm at a very similar stage to them in this video, but am running the risk of getting frustrated by my back knee always going to the deck. Thanks 😇

[@jamesbateman5264]

A lot of take ah ha moments in your videos Kale! Thanks

[@theoverstoker3430]

this just made me realize matching thewaves speed on the take off is killing my surfing... i needto up my paddle power and fix my wave entry

[@purplehickeybc6674]

Dude that’s crazy

[@titaniumbones1054]

Great videos Kale. I’ll be sure to let all your ads run for better payday.

[@TheLostFA]

Just starting to love surfing! And this wave pool looks like a great place to practice! Would looove to check this wave pool in the future!😍 Please drop the location if anyone knows where this is😍😍💯💯 TYSM💕

[@KalesBroccoli]

Melbourne :)

[@TheLostFA]

@@KalesBroccoli Hi Kale! Thank you for responding! Amazing videos by the way! 🥳 I’m glad I found your channel!! We will be visiting Melbourne soon! This is definitely one on the bucket list 😅 However, for a beginner session: are there any longboards to rent? Or do we have to bring our own? Thanks again! 😊

[@clarapontual6143]

Nicee

I gess i have a wavegarden in my contry (France.....) just to study technicaly.....

[@BalaHewinson]

[@nachosanchez109]

Why are u riding goofy in all of those clips? Weren't u regular?

[@jimmccarley9609]

Video trick

[@alexmoskowitz4025]

mirrored footy?

[@Slickjim91]

Lol

[@alanthomson5331]

Yeah I had to check it as well. I thought, "Hey wow Kale has really peaked in his surfing, he's now a goofy!" But alas, he's got a little way to go.😊

[@KalesBroccoli]

Mirrored to keep consistent with surfer being analysed

[@doggobarkso8786]

First

[@AddGaming.]

I really like your content and it helped me a lot, but I don't like how you are calling your guide place "university". Gives me Prager U vibes and I don't like it. Just calling it a Uni doesn't make it one. There are so many other names for auch places it doesn't have to be a actually protected term. In your case making the calls what's uni and whats not is job of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks for watching! I yawned reading this hahaha

[@doggobarkso8786]

@@KalesBroccoli LMAO💀

[@iiReaperz01]

Stick to Pokemon and gaming dude. The fact you went to this extent with a reply to Kale thinking he'd even care is wild.

Please get dressed before filming
