S O L OBUYER’S GUIDE 1


Wind up your torso by rotating your upper body to the offside. Plant the blade further away from the hull than you would for a forward stroke. Angle the powerface toward the hull. The thumb on your upper hand should be pointing toward the stern.


2


Scribe the top hook of the C by drawing the bow of the canoe to the blade. Your upper hand should pass over- top the gunwales and be out over the water, with the thumb still pointing toward the stern.


3


This is the propulsion phase of the stroke. To reduce the amount of offside turning force, keep this stroke as close to the centreline as possible by keeping your upper hand out over the water and arcing the blade slightly under the canoe.
