How to "Boof Stomp" - Nick's kayaking Tips and Tricks
Here I break down some tips and tricks for learning the "Boof Stomp" style of boofing your whitewater kayak. If you don't know how to boof yet, then look back at my video on 'How to Boof' as a precursor to this video. Please feel free to like, comment, and share with me your thoughts on my advice and what tricks you would like to see next.

I'm interested in ideas for whitewater boat rescue. Everyone focuses on saving the paddler (of course), but I feel like I am most at risk trying to save a waterlogged boat. Some ideas, or even some tips to not do, would be helpful. For example when I first started kayaking I got out of my boat and then swam for his, with my rope in my hand (it all made sense in my head at the time) I got tangled in the rope, and was so tired when I got to the boat that I couldn't do anything with it anyway, so don't do that!
Thanks for these videos!
i always found it to be important to know wether i want to stomp a boof before going over a drop, since i do a different type of body motion at the lip. . if i plan to stomp it, i'm starting the with a ~20% angle right from the lip with my body weight a bit more forward, where the bow is only up because of my very closed body position. which is different to a full on boof where my bow is up with me being in an upright "standard" position. so i personally find it hard/next to impossible to stomp a boof if i pulled off the lip so hard that my bow is up with my body being upright as well. i personally need to boof with my body in the front to get the stomp going, otherwise my weight is not above my feet when stomping and i only land on the back. . i think you might be doing it the same way. looking at your boof at 0:14 in the yellow boat, you do as well start with a good angle early on, as opposed to throwing the bow up in a full on (over)boof manner. (seems even to be the same for the following shot in the blue nirvana. the weight is a bit more in the front and the boof comes mostly from the stroke + pulling your knees, and not as much from moving your torso back and forth) - correct me if i'm wrong.

I agree it is almost impossible to get the bow down once it's above your waist line, though I would never boof that hard on anything I might consider stomping anyways.... but yes, I agree.
Thank you for making this video. I think i have clue now and will practice it. How about kickflipping. :-)
Can you do a Washington tuck video?
