[Paddlewise] Feet - Back Paddling

G'day,

Can anyone tell me or give me a good reference to the proper technique for
paddling backwards? The question I have is which leg should one
straighten/engage with the footrest? Is it the one next to the side you are
making the paddle stroke as in forward paddling? Or is it the side opposite?
Does it matter?

All the best, PeterO
