So, you wanna get meltdown, but like, really MELTDOWN. Well, if you follow these steps, you’ll get the deepest, longest, craziest and scariest meltdown EVER!!!
**Disclaimer**
Do this line at your own risk. There is a chance that you could go over the Big Kahuna ledge and get hurt. Always make sure to scout your line and have safety protocols in place in case anything goes wrong.
1. Try to go when the level is around 3 and not higher or else you can get seriously hurt, even at 3ft, you can get hurt so make sure you are a confident paddler and have a strong skirt that will not implode.
2. Get out and scout it before you want to go. Look for a boof on the right, then a seam on the left. You want to put your nose of your kayak right on the seam and lean forward and a little right.
3. Hop in your boat and start to paddle to the meltdown line. Slow down and look for where the boof ends and meets the seam. You want to have about half of your boat going over the boof and your nose in the seam. Then, GO FOR IT!!!
4. You’ll get sucked down then, depending on how well you hit your line, go super deep!! The important thing to remember is to not pull your skirt if you get freaked out. You, in your boat, have more buoyancy than you in a PFD.
5. You’ll pop up downstream before Big Kahuna. Make sure to hold your excitement until you’re in the bottom eddie an safe!!!
Hope this helped!
See you on the River,
Bryce
