What is it?

Double Pump is a technique that allows you to submerge your bow under the water, starting a vertical end. This is a foundation trick for all wheeling based tricks done either in the Feature, downriver or for entry moves.

Step by Step

1. Paddle forward, building your speed
2. Get the boat on the edge and perform a sweep stroke along your boat. Rotate your hips and push your lower foot up to elevate the
   bow.
3. Once the boat reaches the highest point, and your stroke reaches the back of your boat, turn the sweep stroke into sweep push
   stroke, rotating your hips and shoulders to the side towards the water and smashing your upper foot under the water.
