Question

June 18th im going on my first canoe trip...with three people im in the vouye (front) which way do I paddle right or left??? pretty scared.

Answer 1

You probably will switch from side to side occasionally. Wear your life jacket. Follow the instructions of the group leader. have fun.

Answer 2

the opposite side that the person in the back is.it is really simple don't worry.  just think of your self as the motor.

good luck and have fun.

Answer 3

it doesnt matter, just do the opposite as the person in front of u. U'll do fine!

Answer 4

Well you generally you swap after a while,

which can be every few strokes or when you fatigue on either side!

this because for some reason in these scenarios everyone whats to paddle on the same side (for me that's the right).

If your back man is worth his or her weight then you can paddle on either side as they will compensate with a strong J-stroke!

Good luck!
