SEAL LAUNCHES, DROPS and BOOFS - 2011/01/31 11:34
OK all you experienced paddlers, I’m going to try and open up a debate on SEAL LAUNCHES, DROPS and BOOFS.
Can I have your views on different situations, like the Nith seal launch spot and maybe the Etive and get a thorough understanding of boat / paddler dynamics and how to safely take a drop?
So, can we open this debate on the questions below and hopefully this will generate more….
If you’re dropping off the rock what is the correct body posture and paddle position?
How should your posture change when you hit the water?
Is there a height that you’d say paddle to your side as against above your head?
If you’re going over a drop (and I’m not talking about setting world records here) what works for you?
Should you put a paddle in for a boof stroke on every drop?
