Sounds confusing. Are you in front (fore side) or aft side of the paddle? 
 From the initial description it sounded as if you were on the fore side of 
the paddle, heading aft over the cockpit and on to the aft deck. If you are 
going to hit the rudder you are so far aft that your toes won't reach the 
cockpit!!!

Or is the later part of the message about how not to do it?
