Re: forward stroke technique

The BCE has at least one tutorial on their site
http://www.bce-racing.com/

One tip - in my experience - the single thing most paddlers miss for
kayak forward (resistance) technique is driving force laterally along
the paddle shaft. Push/pull is ineffective unless the force is
translated into the water. This means pushing sideways down the shaft
to the power blade AND some crossover of the centerline is desirable.
The rest more/less takes care of itself if you have any torso twist
at all.

Slalomists also need to work their feet - pressing foot on same side
of boat as stroke.
