  • With flatwater loops, we really want to dial in our bow stalls to the point that we can

  • begin balancing our boat vertically on end. The balance come from beginning with a small

  • pushing motion of your paddle, but then once you're up on end, you're actually going to

  • dive your paddle into the water and try and pull your bow even deeper underneath the surface.

  • This pulling motion will really dive the boat fully under water, and then your paddle is

  • right near the surface so you can begin launching up and forward and begin that forward somersault

  • of the loop. As you pull your paddle up to the surface, I roll my wrist backwards so

  • I break that surface tension even easier, then launch forward, and create the loop just

  • like the end part. You want to forward somersault and then at the very end of, you're going

  • to throw your weight back to finish that forward somersault off. Take a look.
