The necessary skills for drifting in the river - Boof

2.To boof or not to boof,that is the question

The difference between knowing when and when to use boof may be a pleasant trip down the river or into the hospital, ranging from a neck sprain to a spine injury. This is because even using a round bottom When the ship is launched horizontally, whether it is 5 feet or 25 feet high, all the impact power is absorbed by your back, and more precisely, your poor spine.

The most important thing to note when considering whether or not to fit in boof is the height of the gap, and the depth and condition of the point of entry. Even the world's best players will not deliberately boof more than about a 20-foot gap because it will certainly cause back injuries. .

To boof a drop before you carefully observe the water point is "soft". Skiers do not go to a frozen cliff, so you should not boof a waterfall if its water point is hard and white Bubbles, or worse, underwater stones. Ideally your boof's water point is soft and has a lot of bubbles, it will provide you with the best cushioning effect to save you from horrible back injuries.

The last place to look at whether or not boof must pay attention is the water depth at the point of entry below the drop. It is very important to observe the water depth at the point of entry. If you do not have a boof, the vertical bow of the hull directly hits the bottom of the water, even if it is very small. The gap can also cause your leg or ankle to be injured, or it can be stuck in the middle. So in this situation boof is a better and safer option.

3.Boofing for beginners

When you decide on a fall and decide to need boof, you must know how to operate this technique correctly. The most common boof error is in the wrong place and too early boof, both of which will cause you to fall into what you originally wanted to avoid. Super inhalation hole. Or worse, after returning home you have to spend money to invite people to swim beers. (Exit people to treat!)

Boof's four decomposition actions:

Place--determining the drop from there--usually where the gap is lowest--provides you with the best place to launch the boob, because with proper paddling, it makes it easier for you to cross the bottom hole. At the same time, in the gap The edge of the stone or rock corner can also be a good boof platform, allowing you to tilt the bow.

Approach--proximity--a successful boof depends on a good approach and an effective last paddle. When approaching a gap, your speed does not need to be too fast. When you reach the edge of the gap, control makes the speed of the boat and the water flow consistent. In this case, you just need to put the paddle in the water stream to allow the paddle to eat water. This will allow the boat to accelerate to the same level as the water flow, and it will also be able to retain the strength to cope with the subsequent voyage. If you are falling too fast, it is very fast. It is possible that you will miss the last paddle and fall directly into the hole below. Please remember that when you make boof, there is less!

Final Stroke - The last paddle - this is the most important part of the boof action, because this paddle lets you cross the hole below. The center of gravity must be on the boat, the lower body is relaxed. It can help you to send farthest from the edge of the gap. Some people think that if the body leans back, it can lift the bow. Actually it is just the opposite. The back of the body is equal to pushing the foot off the body, so it usually falls straight.

Timing is the most important thing. Your last paddle should be just below the front end of the gap, and the paddle should produce the maximum tension in order to lift the bow and speed it out. Sometimes it means that your last paddle is lower. When the gap is shallow, it will catch the flow of the land under the gap.

Landing - into the water - it is recommended to have one paddle in the water when entering the water. This allows you to control it as soon as the boat enters the water. Especially when the gap between the drop and the gap is small and you need to do it immediately after entering the water. The next action is especially important. In addition, it is also important that the body maintains an aggressive forward posture when entering the water. This will allow you to prepare for oars or balance and avoid being sucked back. Hole.

Bad boy boofing and beyond

There are times when you just have a straight boof and a gap is not enough. For example, you may have to jump straight out of the boof and then make the boat turn in the air to make a horizontal crossing.

Imagine if you want the boat to turn left and right. When you approach the gap, face slightly to the right, keep at the same speed as the water, the last paddle is boof from the left and then the left knee is raised immediately, and the center of gravity is moved to the right and in front of the cockpit. Prepare the right hand balance.

The shifting of the center of gravity plus the left paddle boof will make the ship turn in the air, so that you can turn according to demand. It is possible that you will find that there is less speed, and a few more paddles will make up for it.

Boofing Clever

Boofing is indeed important for Xiaxi, but remember that it's very dangerous to get into the water from a high place. Use your judgment. Boof hard but boof smart!
