Clay always says “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”. Slow it right down, as slow as you can and feel what your body is doing - will it do something differently if you ask it to?
The surf strength coach has a program for the pop up over 6 weeks, including all the movements and stretching to get you body where you want it. You could also look up hydromind on instagram, he has some drills for pop up efficiency
Have you got video of your pop up? Might make it easier to help
Work hard to get it right and never think about it again.
Good luck
