From the opposite side of the kayak, reach over the canoe with the paddle and pull the water towards yourself to move the canoe laterally in that direction.

Place the paddle vertically in the water on the side of the canoe and push the water away from the canoe, prying off the gunwale if necessary.

Use a long, sweeping stroke from the bow of the canoe toward the stern, forming a wide arc, to turn the canoe.

With the paddle held horizontally and the knuckles facing downward, apply a downward pressure on the surface of the water to stabilize the canoe.

Move the paddle blade back and forth in a horizontal figure-eight motion under the water's surface to draw the canoe sideways.

Reach forward with the paddle and immerse the blade fully in the water, pulling back through the water alongside the canoe, then repeat.

Similar to the forward stroke, but at the end of the pull, twist the paddle to form a 'J' shape, pushing the water inward to keep the canoe straight.

With the paddle held horizontally and the knuckles facing upward, apply an upward pressure against the water's surface to right the canoe if it's tilting.

Reach out to the side of the canoe and pull the water toward you, dragging the canoe sideways.
