  • @unclejohnthezef Continuing to paddle on the inside of the turn keeps all your forward momentum going while your boat carves the turn. Paddling on the outside of the turn is actually fairly awkward because your leaning the other way. It's hard to get a decent stroke in the water on the outside of the turn. If you want to turn more quickly, the bow paddler can open their bow draw up to catch more water, or the stern paddler can finish one of their forward strokes with a little stern pry.

  • does the stern paddler have to continue paddling on the "inside" of the turn? why not paddle on the "outside" (wouldn't you turn faster?)
