  • @Drofeddamite Just listen to the video carefully and you would notice what I had try to get across. I just thought I should mention it incase people learning got confused.

  • @GoneToHelenBach aggree to disagree?

  • @Drofeddamite jonjor1234 was correct and made perfect sense. If the bow is slicing to the left then you need to push down on the right in order to pull the bow back under you. If you push down on the left then it will slice to the surface even quicker. That is what the guy on the video did...he just 'said' it wrong. Clearly it was a simple mistake but it should have been corrected before being posted up. Clear demonstration, inaccurate information.

  • @jonjor1234 you gotta be shittin me, that doesnt even make sence. I am going 1 direction so I will press on the other so I get back up. Think about it man, he shows what he said in the demo

  • Hi, I just thought I'd mention that in your explanation on how to control the bow stall you mention pushing down on the same blade that your boat was slicing to; however this is incorrect. In order to correct slicing to the left you will push down with the opposite blade, I.E if the bow sliced to the right then you would push down with your left blade and use you hips/legs to pull the boat to the centre position. You even show this in your demo.

  • @DoNotTimeTravel you can do a front flip on a park and play if you learn how to do that

  • @PUDDLEPUNK maybe you lean backwards as  your going up, i have the same problem, but i found a mini cheat, once you stern squirt throw your bow down to try and get a cartwheel, itll get you up

  • @DoNotTimeTravel 1 its badass

    2 if you want to loop in flatwater this is the way to do it.

  • @DoNotTimeTravel It's badass.
