Sweet!

This is a technique used in slower-than-current paddling common in Canada and used when navigating wilderness rivers loaded. Why use it? Because you're always facing downstream.
With a loaded boat, the set in and out is very simple and does not require alot of room.
It's actually not that complex a maneuvre-but the demonstration here makes it look that way.
For more on this, consult any of Bill Mason's classic videos or books-He covers this technique in detail.

why do you want to back out of an eddy? Why not just go straight forward?

Why would you exit an eddy in such a complex way? I much prefer just to peel out on a high brace!

This was just for demo - a real application would be when you are in an eddy facing down stream (eg: after setting in) and the channel you want to break in to is too narrow to spin a large open canoe around.
