The Duffek stroke or bow rudder works fine for short boats or even long boats at slower current speeds, but the forces on long boats in fast ocean currents can compromise your shoulder and result in a slow, arcing turn. The best thing about this skill is how it feels when the boat spins. When done correctly it is both effortless and fun!
