Another stroke which may be used by either the bow or stern paddler is the pry stroke.

A gentle prying motion is applied, forcing the canoe in the opposite direction of the paddling side.  4, record 1, English, - pry%20stroke

Étant donné que la majorité des embarcations ont tendance à tourner (une fois que l'avant commence à tourner, l'arrière glisse vers l'extérieur et vers l'avant, faisant rapidement pivoter l'embarcation), le meilleur endroit où appliquer l'écart est à l'arrière, afin de contrebalancer le virage et de maintenir l'embarcation en ligne droite.  3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cart%20actif
