I'm paddling a longboat for my first time this weekend on the upper/middle. Are there any moves/attainments that are possible in a longboat that aren't in a playboat or creeker?

(I know all of the playboat moves) I'm just not used to the speed :)

whos got some tough moves to try out :)

gracias

note "The Carwreck" move at Grumpies is a little challenging, turn sideways and flip at the horizon above hole. <NT> Zombie New

note I once followed a guy in a Noah Jeti, and was amazed when he dropped over Flipper and was launched skyward, several feet ezwater New
note Did he drop in sideways to melt down or did he drop his nose or stern in first? <NT> Dale New
note Wasn't that close, but it looked like he went straight over, slow, and induced a back ender launch. <NT> ezwater New
