How to do the Wing-Over Trick in Advanced Kayaking

Video Transcript

"There are whole slues of different entry moves out there. An entry move is when you're coming down the rapid, you're going to see a hole out in front of you and you want to hit that hole with a lot of speed and do a trick on your way into the feature. Then try and land in the hole or the wave, and keep on surfing. The most basic of which is the wing-over. When I do the wing-over, what I'm going to do is paddle down in that hole, lift my nose up onto the foam pile, and essentially do a back deck roll. To get the most air out of this, I'm going to take a nice forward stroke raising my bow up and onto that foam pile. I'm going to actually flip up to my upstream side, reaching across as I go, looking at the stern edge, and hip snapping the boat up and over my head. The key is coming in with a lot of speed and trying to raise your bow up so it smacks the foam pile and you can rotate and get a lot of air, and it'll land on the feature and keep on surfing."
