Lapping Boof of Destiny

A couple of weeks ago me and my buddy Max ran the Boof of Destiny on Dragons Tongue for the first time. I really liked that line and I wanted to run it again. Yesterday, we went on the middle channel and the level was around 5 1/2, it was a good level for the boof. Before lunch, I tried to do it two times but I kept missing the line. I tried to cut across from river right to river left and hit the boof. It did not work and I had to try another way. After lunch I decided to scout so that I could style the line. Instead of cutting across, I decided to line myself up with the curler that goes into the hole and be just to the right of it. I was flirting with disaster by being close to that curler. I did two runs in which I styled the line and was able to cross the line to river left. I wanted to do it again for the third time but it did not go that smoothly. I boofed into the eddy between the hole at the Boof of Destiny and the hole at ST chute. I began to get pulled into the holes. There was no place where the eddy was calm. I could not paddle to any side, so I decided to surf the Boof of Destiny Hole and get out. I got into the hole and flipped, missed a couple of rolls and then I was out.
The Boof of Destiny is my favorite line on the river, but it can be sketchy. Next time I run the boof, I will go more to the right and avoid boofing into the eddy.
