Mystery Move: Taking your boat and
body under the water using the force of the water. Fun.
How? You need a pourover of some sorts.
Most people are afraid of hitting their head so they never
try this. Although it is possible and don’t say I didn’t
warn you, most of the time the green water pushes you far
enough downstream that you won’t hit your head, even
if you do powerflip.
| 1. |
Paddle up the foampile with speed
like you are charging for an ender. |
| 2. |
Angle your boat at 30 to 45 degrees
to the oncoming water and let your bow get pushed under
like an ender. |
| 3. |
Just as your bow is under do a reverse
sweep to push your stern and the side of your boat into
the green water so you are now dead sideways to the oncoming
water. |
| 4. |
Drop your upstream edge the moment
you do the backsweep to allow the water to go on your
deck and force your boat under. |
| 5. |
Keep your downstream blade in the
water for balance and keep your weight over the boat. |
| 6. |
If you do it right you will feel a
ton of water pushing down on you and your deck and a moment
of silence and peace as you submerge. |
| 7. |
Keep your weight forward to avoid
doing the quick ender back out. |
Oh yea, fun stuff, the “Anti-air
movement”
