With flatwater loops, we really want to dial in our bow stalls to the point that we can
begin balancing our boat vertically on end. The balance come from beginning with a small
pushing motion of your paddle, but then once you're up on end, you're actually going to
dive your paddle into the water and try and pull your bow even deeper underneath the surface.
This pulling motion will really dive the boat fully under water, and then your paddle is
right near the surface so you can begin launching up and forward and begin that forward somersault
of the loop. As you pull your paddle up to the surface, I roll my wrist backwards so
I break that surface tension even easier, then launch forward, and create the loop just
like the end part. You want to forward somersault and then at the very end of, you're going
to throw your weight back to finish that forward somersault off. Take a look.
