[Paddlewise] stroke poll

Im trying to deconstruct my stroke. I have finally found a really
comfortable stroke that I can seemingly use all day long. Just curious
about how you all do it.

let's assume that when the left blade enters the water, its point A
when the left blade leaves the water, point B
right blade enters the water, its point C
when the right blade leaves the water, point D


1) when you paddle, do you "pedal" your boat; that is to say do you exert
pressure on one foot then the other, depending on where you are in your
stroke?

2) If you do, when do you push with your right leg (A->B,B->C,C->D, B->A etc)

3) When you push with your right leg, are you also pushing your knee
upwards, or does your opposite knee pull up?

4) when your left paddle is in the water between A and B which way does
your boat lean left or right?

5) when you paddle does the stern of your boat zig zag?


Maybe you can answer these, try not to think about it too hard, you know,
try for "muscle memory" answers.

thanks alot
jim
