This is an animated GIF, by Michelle Stacheruk, of the J Stroke as seen from the front of a canoe and from above. This stroke is used to make the canoe go in a straight line when paddling solo. The paddle goes into the water, is pulled back, and turned, like a letter J, at the end of the stroke. You can start and stop the animation with the buttons below.
