Description

Not to be taken lightly but if you line up the untrance right the rock does the work for you

Stay to the right of the feinght rooster tail at the top and this will put you on the right side of the seam.  Your gunna wanna be far right enough right that you minimize the drop on your back while not going to far right as instead of melting back into the seam you will lauch. Once you drop keep a good bace and hold on. The seam kinda naturally kicks you out so you only have to worry about staying upright.

Tip lean forward a little bit and let the tip of your bow hit first and then you boat should slide out to flatt to lighten the impact on your back. This is a proper Southeast boating technique and if you lean too far forward it could end with you going over the handlebars.
