The chair hopping visualization tip is super helpful. It immediately clicked what I'd been doing wrong.

Kickflip video is nearly ready, probably in the next couple of weeks.
Seth, what about approaching the drop, leaning slightly forward towards the bow and then snapping the body upright along with the knees as well, to give that extra lift?

Seth, can you give an advice of how to choose between right or left for the final stroke?

Kind of situational I'm afraid mate, like I say in the video sometimes a left or right will set you up better so try and plan ahead! good luck
so your lifting up your knees at the last paddle stroke as you lean foward. where does the hip snap come in thanks

Great Question! You are actually lifting up and your knees and driving forward from your hips simultaneously THEN moving your body weight forward. Think about the knee/hip motion like shuffling a chair forward with your feet lifted off the ground. You will typically only have to lean forward of your centre point not all the way forward so you have a little more time to really focus on hips and knees which are more important in your boof. Did this video help you? I am thinking about more short tutorial tips like this if they are useful. Let me know!
