Every drop that you approach you should already know some information about it, you should have already scouted it or done it before and when you approach a drop you want to make sure that you paddle into it with the right amount of strokes, with the right timing so that you can pull yourself over that drop whether it would have a soft lift or a hard lift and make sure you have the right angle as you go over the drop.
