"All pries use the paddle shaft as a lever against the gunwale to move the canoe away from the paddle."  Sounds so easy doesn't it?  Then why don't more canoeists utilize this useful stroke in more situations?

Check out how to execute four useful solo maneuvers (Offside Abeam, Offside U-turn, Offside Sideslip, and Offside Capsize Recovery) and keep you in control of your craft no matter what gets thrown at you.  

Read McGuffin's Know How article in the Early Summer 2011 issue of Canoeroots magazine and let us know if you've been getting the most out of your pries.
