Another stroke which may be used by either the bow or stern paddler is the pry stroke. The paddle is inserted vertically in the water, with the power face outward, and the shaft braced against the gunwale. A gentle prying motion is applied, forcing the canoe in the opposite direction of the paddling side.  4, record 1, English, - pry%20stroke

Since most hulls tends to veer - once the bow begins to turn, the stern slides out and forward, quickly pivoting the hull - the pry is best applied at the stern to offset veer and keep the hull aligned.  5, 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

At the end of the J stroke, the paddle is kniffed forward underwater with the power face of the paddle almost flat and facing up. Steering is accomplished by pulling up on the blade as it is brought forward. About halfway through the recovery, the paddle is allowed to slip out of the water in readiness for the next power stroke. The trick is getting a very slight angle on the blade as it comes forward. If the angle is wrong the paddle will plane out of the water or drive too deep. The angle is controlled by the upper hand.  2, record 2, English, - Canadian%20stroke

It used to be called the kniffing J but American canoeists began referring to it as the Canadian stroke. Most Canadians are happy to go along with this name because it is such a beautiful stroke.  2, record 2, English, - Canadian%20stroke

À la fin du coup en J, la pale est ramenée vers l'avant par la tranche, la face propulsive presque à plat et tournée vers le haut. Le redressement se fait de façon continue en soulevant progressivement la pale durant son retour vers l'avant. À mi-chemin du recouvrement, c'est-à-dire du retour à l'attaque, la pale est sortie de l'eau en position pour la propulsion suivante.  2, record 2, French, - coup%20canadien

The draw stroke exerts a force opposite to that of the pry. The paddle is inserted vertically in the water at arm's length from the gunwale, with the power face toward the canoe, and is then pulled inward to the paddler's hip.  6, record 3, English, - draw
