4 strokes under my personal best!

Does anyone have a rag?

    Is this accurate?

    I failed to execute a technique (boof stroke) that lifts the kayak’s bow over obstacles, and my spray skirt (the waterproof cover that seals the cockpit) failed and let water in. Now I have to drink a beer out of my water shoe (a paddling tradition/penalty when you flip over and have to exit your kayak) because I crashed badly in that dangerous hydraulic (a turbulent section of water that recirculates).

    • Boof stroke: A paddling technique to lift the front of the kayak
    • Skirt: The waterproof cover that keeps water out of the kayak
    • Bootie beer: A kayaking tradition where you drink a beer from your wet shoe after swimming
    • Hole: A hydraulic/recirculating current that can trap boats and paddlers
