The most relaxed forward stroke is the Ottawa Shuffle.

Lie back, all the way back on to the rear deck.  Let your hand rest on your
chest, where they hold the shaft of the paddle.  Paddle by alternately
cocking the wrist and raising the fingers of one hand, and then cock the
wrist and raise the fingers of the other hand.  Enjoy, but try not to doze
off.
