How come every time I boof...

Post by FullGnarlzOC »

my stern lands first? My buddy joe suggest I should boof more like him and let my nose plug in to alleviate the dryness my boat gets from landing stern first...

I would suggest that when you drop over ledges from now on you raise your paddle above your head and let out a whoop like a rafter.

You might also try running ledges backwards so your boof sends your stern skyward.

most likely problem is that your ego is trimmed stern heavy. move it a few inches forward. or balance it with a 12pack under the bow bag.

I think you're incorrectly trimming your boat for something that is much smaller than what you think it is. The hamlet you're throwing is kinda obvious... nuff said.

I was reading this thread for info and am finding myself confused? Hamlet? Is this just a lot of sarcasm?

I hate to speculate on this without seeing several diagrams, pictures and videos... but I bet it has something to do with switching helmets.

When in doubt... land flat. :lol:

craig - thats exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't sure if it was because of the more aeronamic design or because of the color? I just cant seem to figure it out.
