How to Boof - Whitewater Kayaking

- An essential skill for kayaking of all skill levels, the boof allows you to keep your bow high and dry as you continue to move downstream, full speed ahead. This is an introduction to boofing; for lean boofing and ear dips, check out the lean boof video.
Idea for you and excellent videos by the way! Ok, nobody has explained the basics of surfing very well. I have been kayaking for many years and I could never figure out why my bow kept plunging into the fast water when front surfing. Turned out that moving my seat forward in my boats was a bad idea. I also just learned that lifting a knee is a better option than edging the boat when you need to do nothing more than just front surf back and forth. Now that I can front surf a little I have found that powerful waves twist me into a side surf position and I can’t get back to the front surf position...again no help videos exist for these basic concepts. Anyway, help me and you will have the only video on the internet that instructs the first step of learning to surf - how to get on a wave and front surf.
Thanks so much for making this video! It made me realize why I bombed on a boof during a clinic on the Arkansas River and what I need to mentally focus on while practicing on home stretches near me to make my goal of flying down the upper ledges of the Tellico a success. I can't believe the last comments were a year ago. Your tutorials are awesome. Please keep'em coming.
stoked you’re enjoying the videos and thanks for watching!
I just want you to know I appreciate your videos. I started boating last year and watched them before but yours are the ones I'm looking at now that I'm getting a better understanding and continue to progress. You're also my go-to to share with others. I appreciate the depth of your explanation and slowing down your video shots to really see what's happening.
Great advice, love kayaking, you never stop learning.
Great instruction by a great instructor and the edits are perfect for visualization!
excellent breakdown of each of the steps, thank YOU!
Thanks a lot. Ive been riding kajak for some time and tried to learn alone. But the description of common mistakes helped a lot!!
Excellent video, very complete
Thanks for the videos, I am sharing these with my Team River Runner Chapter! Keep it up!
Good idea. Our TRR chapter would benefit as well.
loving the channel! How about some tips on free-wheeling(forwards and backwards). Thanks!
Awesome video best boof explanation I've seen so far
thanks! More on the way...
Great video, I subscribed. How to stern squirt or any basic tricks/skills in your Antix 2.0 could be a video. I've never owned a half-slice but am thinking that will be my next boat and the Antix 2.0 is probably top of the list. I'm wanting a more playful boat for II+/-III local runs.
Reading the river please
Nice instruction with added tips too.
Thank you 👍
Your definition of Boof and my definition of Boof are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT things 🤣
Good stuff!
Great video & breakdown of the steps to boof. Thanks. Maybe think about tips on building core strength to improve the 'crunch'. Super job😁
there is definitely a core and shoulder stability video coming, although it may be a while. I’m editing so many videos right now 😅... we’ll get there
sweet, it's like a sideways ollie for your kayak lol. Gotta slip the back and then stomp down, but with a rotating motion. Pretty cool. I always wanted to know how to boof. Bc my doctor told me to do it.
Nice. Thanks. What does it mean to load your stern?
Setting up a kayak seems to be a mystery. As beginners, we have no idea what our feet position should look like. Do our knees push against the knee braces all the time or when we engage. Do we slide the knee brace forward or back? We all purchased Pyranha Scorch stout 2 2023 boats but are struggling with fit, not because they feel good or bad, we don't know if it is correct and safe or all wrong. Any help will be appreciated.
Good video. Your presenting style is very smooth and concise 👍. One point of note, I do think that a side on camera angle breakdown could have been useful also. ( Though all the info was there). Thanks
I think that would be helpful... I’ll keep that in mind on the next vid
I know it’s basic, but could you discuss increasing speed? Thanks
Good video. If I had to recommend a video, I would say discuss more intermediate topics - such as this one. This one was good because it didn't just talk about how to boof, but about how to boof when there is not much water going over the ledge. Other topics could include straight versus bent shafts, what to wear on your head for cold water, adjusting your pfd, seal launches off a level rock versus a slope, how to boof a big breaking wave (there isn't a good discussion of punching through versus some sort of off angle boof), in depth comparison of zen vs gnarvana and why a beginner wouldn't want the later, what you wear on your feet, are all pogies created equal, is there any advantage to wearing a thin glove under a pogie, how to repair dry suit socks, MORE CONTENT FOR WOMEN, just to name a few.
they’re on the way… so many on the way! Thanks for watching & for the thoughts! 🤙🏻
I'd like to see a video on how you get out of a very retentive hole.
on the way for sure. I’ve filmed most of it, but had a few things come up that slowed the edit. I’ll wrap it up ASAP. A few more edits will likely be finished first, but it’s in the works. Thanks for watching!
Such a great video! My boof is trash. I'll be using this to help me work on it. 🤙🏽
nice! Thanks for watching… hopefully you’ll be soaring in no time! 🚀🤙🏻
Love your videos! My boof upgraded to 70:30 for me since I'm trying what you have told in the video. Great job! I may appreciate some tips - let's say some "rodeo tricks" which may help you out from somewhere, where you really don't want to be - as f.e. you just fucked the boof you learned lately :)
Didn't know what this meant for kyacking. Definely something different than what It means in jail loll
I like your pants dude : send me a link pls \m/
