The
"Floop" is essentially a Flat water Loop. The first
thing you'll have to do is get yourself into a bow stall. If
you can't pull off a bow stall you'll need to get it cracked
before continuing. Once your bow stall has been initiated and
then stabilised, start to bounce your boat up and down your
paddle and hips to really drive the nose under as much as you
can.
Once you have reached what feels like that highest bounce you
now pull down really hard once more with your paddle leaning
the boat just over vertical to get the boats nose is at maximum
depth under the water and the boat is just over vertical if
you don't commit to the next step you'll just end up planting
on your face.
As the boat pushes it self-back up out of the water take your
paddle out of the water and reach with your paddle and your
whole body to the ceiling giving the boat an extra boost higher.
When you feel you're at the maximum height throw all your body
weight and paddle down under the boat just like you would if
you were doing a forward somersault. This should release the
boat from the water sending it flying over your head. Getting
this move down will make a loop in a hole feel quite easy and
you'll find yourself flying a lot higher then you ever did before.
