"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

Eliza Perfect Your Pop Up Student

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

Dave

Dave Perfect Your Pop Up Student

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

Anne Perfect Your Pop Up Student

"I was struggling with a slow pop-up, missing waves, and forgetting everything I’d practiced on land once I hit the water.

Since starting the Perfect Your Pop Up online surf camp, I feel so much more confident.

After the first week of working thorough the videos and practicing on land, I went out and was consistently using the two-step method, not my knees! I got up faster, had more fun on the waves, and felt more in control. I can’t recommend this course enough!"

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! 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! As soon as you enrol, you’ll receive instant access to all modules so you can start learning right away and make your way through the content as slowly or quickly as you like. The 10 Day Challenge Videos will drop across the first 10 days of starting your course to help you kick start your pop up habits with small daily efforts.

You’re absolutely welcome here. This course is designed to meet you where you're at, with guidance to help you build solid foundations that feel good in your body.

Definitely. Many intermediate surfers take this course to improve consistency, refine technique, or rebuild confidence after time away from the water.

Nope! Everything in the course can be done from home, with just a yoga mat or soft floor space.

It can be a super frustrating experience to work on something and not see results. That’s exactly why we created this course. We offer multiple styles and methods, with nervous system-aware coaching that helps your body and brain actually absorb the change. But we also ask you to be real with yourself and your expectations. We're not going to push you to do the most elite level push up if a) your body is not ready for that, and b) it doesn't align with what you actually need from your pop up to reach your surfing goals. These factors are important, and we don't just blow past them.

Like anything in life, you will get out of this course what you put into it. While we do have the first module available for free so you can test out if our teaching style is right for you. We can promise that if you commit to the process and put in the work, you will see results.

The insights you learn will definitely be share-worthy, but each person's body is different and so the bits that are most relevant to you might not be most relevant to them. In order for your friends to get the best results, we recommend they sign up to take the course themselves.

You get lifetime access, so you can revisit the materials any time you need a refresher, whether it’s next month or next year.
