At least 40. But it depends on your weight.

Dude that's gonna hurt. Stepping off is hard, evne when you know what you're doing. My suggestion would be to start on a boom and lowering yourself on you feet. Work up to deep water back starts on a short line on the end then go to long line starts. After a couple eye peels steppin' off you'll understand.

i've tried it a few times on a boom... all i can say was the falls didn't tickle...
