The kayak stroke is the motor that propels the kayak. There are many types of kayak strokes such as the forward stroke, the draw stroke, and the sweep stroke to name a few. One thing all these strokes have in common is that they all have the same three parts. There is the catch phase, the power phase, and the recovery phase. Knowing the premise behind each of these phases will help you perform each stroke more efficiently as well as aid in the process of learning new strokes.
