How was your canoe trip?

Andrew, I know you've heard of "cab forward". I need to j stroke maybe one stroke out of 20, without dragging the paddle behind me. And I know you've seen solo canoes trimmed level. That both aids cab forward, no-J paddling, and makes the occasional j stroke more effective, because the stern isn't "pinned" by a boat trimmed stern down. I'm not supposed to have to say this to people known to be expert.

30 second intro/commercial for a 1:44 video!?

Absolutely ridiculous. I didn't even watch the video. Just downvoted and moved on after all that bullshit.

I think it's better to use a Kayak Paddle! - especially on larger open water, where wind and waves are more of a factor. The alternating strokes add directional stability, and maintain speed, and balanced use of both arms, etc. Also, try using a 5 gallon water jug that is about half filled, to serve as an onboard weight, to position forward or aft, to "balance'/trim the boat to aid in keeping the boat from weather (wind) - "cocking" adversely. If the boat capsizes, the air in the jug will add some extra floatation! (Also use a large thick, foam "pool float/mat" as a kneeling mat/pad. If it's large enough, (~24" X 72") it can serve as a sleeping pad for your sleeping bag on rough ground, (and it will provide more floatation if you 'sink' the boat.

Kind of useless video. If I knew what a "J Stroke" was, then I would probably already know that i could use it to straighten the canoe.

"Canoes are designed to weathercock," is not an accurate statement. You have left out a discussion of trim as it relates to wind. Canoes are no more designed to weathercock than a bicycle is designed yo sink..
