The Indian Stroke for a canoe. How to do the Indian Stroke as a silent stroke and how to use it as a powerful control stroke.
The term 'Indian' stoke now seem dated and in all other context I would refer to indigenous or first nations people. Please understand the depth of my respect for the heritage that these peoples have given the rest of us. The Hunting, silent or stealth stroke does not seem to be in common usage yet.
The first in the series is my J-Stroke video: • Mastering the J Stroke... and in that explore the various body positions and different paddles.
