In this video I analyze this week’s member submissions and break down key areas for improvement. Topics include reaching further forward to increase stroke range, shortening paddle length to improve cadence and power, finding the optimal mast position on the board tracks, continuing to paddle longer through the pop up, and synchronizing paddling and pumping to maximize power and torque.

In this session I’m analysing paddle up videos from: Brad, Harold, and Eli. Emphasis on: - Mast positioning relative to your board — Why throwing your mast all the way forward for “more lift” often works against you. - Using your legs — Pumping is a huge part of the pop-up, not just paddling. - Full forward extension with a clean paddle entry and full engagement. - Using your lats for power instead of muscling it with your arms. I also added an example of my own paddle-up so you can see how it should all come together. Watch the breakdown and drop any questions or comments below!
