Floop:

Similar to the bank-loop except that you have to perform a controlled stall! During the stall you must be able to pump the boat up and down without face planting.

2 Pumps up and down is usually the most you should do as the boat becomes unstable after 2 because that’s what helps the boat to leave the water. Usually you will have gained too much height out of the water to have the control to stop you face planting!

Pump the boat up and down twice, and on the second pump launch your whole body and boat up!

As the boat reaches maximum pop upwards, you need to reach as high up as you can and roll yourself up into a tuck.
As soon as you have done this untuck and push your blades into the water as hard as you can.

The blades will be in the water at his stage and the boat will be airborne.
You will push the blades behind your head as you un-tuck yourself and the boat will loop fully!

Timing is key to this manoeuvre!
