Step 1 The start-position

• Identify suitable victim (large bouyant boat and
  gullible expression preferable)

  as not to startle assistee
• Bring boats close together

Step 1 The start-position

Step 2 The setup

  able to initiate evasive action
• Lie flat on front deck of target-boat sandwiched
  underneath own boat

  start to pull boat vertical

Step 5 Invert

• Just before you get to the very peak of a
  super-high bounce, throw your weight forwards -
  HARD, and plant your head on the front deck.
• CRACK!
• Feel the boat start to go up and over you
• Use your abs to keep the momentum going

Step 5 Invert

Step 6 Landing

• Your arms should be bent at the elbows in a
  head-stand type position, so give a big push as
  the boat starts to fall.
• Straighten your body out with a quick snap to
  push/flick the back of the boat underneath you.
• Either let go of the target boat, or scream as
  your shoulder dislocates (I prefer the latter).

Step 6 Landing

Step 7 Finish

• Straighten up quickly, throwing weight forwards
  to flatten boat off
• Relocate shoulders
• Grin and give the victim The Sloth
• Feel smug!

This move is really really stupid. There is a
high probability of planting the back of your
boat in the victims head, leaping into the air
and then pancaking flat on your face onto their
boat, serious shoulder injury, and probably
snapping your neck/spine too. So really you
should only do it if you/they dont mind any of
the above happening. Oh, and try not to bleed in
swimming pools - its not very hygenic!
