Gonzo70 Posted August 7, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The best tip would be to have your wife sign up to be a judge! Good luck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpcruiser Posted August 7, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Try to leave some water in the pool for our Oct. sailing! Have fun. We will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradise08 Posted August 7, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Here is a picture of a belly flop participant on our Majesty cruise in January. Maybe you can look at his form! Good luck!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Posted August 7, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2008 My husband has won several times, so I can help you with this one. First of all, make a huge splash, and don't worry about the pain. Drink beer before and after, to numb yourself. Have a gimminck. When he took first place, he was wearing his viking horns, and they stayed on during the "flop". If you are fare skinned, the pink belly showing the pain will get you points. Wife can hide by standing on the side of the pool. Use a water proof camera, or use a towel to protect camera from the splash. Good Luck! Let us know how you placed! KT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 7, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I've never been on the Majesty but my son is a 2 time winner on the 2 cruises he's been on. It's important to get the crowd riled up!!! They help judge by cheering, etc. He did alot of flexing his muscles and stuff like that. Let the crowd fall in love with you before you take your first jump!!!! Good luck and let us know the results...post some pics. I have some great pics but it was before I had a digital camera.

Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 7, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Also, both times he had a friend with him that acted like his trainer. He went up with him and was prepping him. My son is really really funny and that helped. He was also a big football player guy and he really did have the best splash, if I must say so myself!!!

Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 8, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 8, 2008 We actually had a women in the contest on one of my cruises, too, but she didn't make it into the finals. She was a small woman, too. I think they usually don't enter because they are less likely to make fools of themselves. Now don't call me sexist on that one....I am the PROUD mother of a 2 time champ!!!!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread them out, cheer in different areas of deck. Get em fired out, posture. TWO TIME WINNER HERE:cool: JACK IS SAILING AGAIN:cool: No pain no gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
