This sounds like what Van Doren teaches and isn't what is described on the QajaqUSA forum. I once observed him teaching this to a group of paddlers and wondered what the heck he was doing. The standard technique as most of us practice it is not that different than using a Euro paddle. The main differences are in the way the paddle is held and the angle the blade is at in the water.
