Kneeling is the best position for the back. You can go all day in the kneeling position and not hurt your back. If you sit with your knees up in the boat, then you'll have a sore back for sure.

It helps you turn the canoe is the simple answer. But it also teaches you balance, and to become comfortable with the canoe moving around (tipping) under you.

Why do we want to "J-lean?" What's the purpose?
