C-boat paddlers use a special steering motion at the end of the stroke called J-stroke to compensate for the steering torque. It is very fluid and hard to notice when executed by a pro paddler, but it definitely happens, otherwise the boat would go on a curve :) You just learn to do it and keep the boat going in a straight line when you're 10 years old...
This might be a stupid ass question but how do they keep the canoe going straight when they only paddle on one side?
I think the canoe has a blade in the back that keeps it going straight
@@n00bisuperlocky8 I canoeed a long time ago when the oar is taken out of the water, it is turned to the side and taken out
