ターン技術
カヌーの特性によって、どちらか一人が漕げば進路を変えることはできるが、一人で漕ぐのは大変。しかし、二人が同じサイドを漕げば曲がると思うかもしれないが、これは重心が偏ってしまうためカヌーが傾き、横波が来たときに転覆の危険がある。スムーズに進路を変更するには、前漕ぎをしている二人のうち、曲がりたい方向にパドルを漕いでいる人だけが後ろ漕ぎをすると、二人で力を合わせてスムーズに曲がることができます。

Technique of turning

By characteristics of the canoe, if one person rows, he can change the direction, but it is difficult to row by one person. You might think that if 2 people row at the same side, they might be able to turn the canoe. However, as center of gravity stays at one side, the canoe might be capsized when transverse wave attacks since the canoe leans to one direction. To change the direction smoothly, if only a person who is rowing the paddle in the direction where he would like to turn among 2 people who are rowing in the direction of front rows in the direction of back, they can turn smoothly by working together.
