    Holding the paddle in the normal paddler's box (but in front rather than 
below) while "swimming" in the prone position seems to be the most useful to 
me. Using a non-feathered paddle, I use significant torso rotation such that 
the offside shoulder is lifted out of the water during each stroke. No doubt 
others will have differing techniques.
