I used to love going to a swimming pool, and especially if there was a diving board. I'd do flips and back flips and 1.5 flips and all sort of stuff.

I remember in college our dorm pool had a 3m board, so ~10'. I tried both diving head first and jumping in feet first. Both suck. Getting smacked on the head by the water hurt, and on one occasion I must have been at a funny angle because it tried to bend my body a way it didn't want to bend. That was the end of that. Even feet first, feet flat, the bottom of the feet hurt. Feet pointed, your junk gets slammed by the water.

Nope, low board for me.
