You can also do an off side duffek which is basically follows the same principal, I do an off side draw stroke which is over here, drop my top hand back, slide up on the shaft a little more if I need to, and hold that position while I have some momentum and that will rudder my bow to the off side. Here’s what that looks like. If you notice, when I finish either the cross duffek or the on side duffek I turn it into a forward stroke, in the case of an on side duffek I turn it into an on side forward stroke, in case of the cross duffek I turn it into a cross forward stroke and that’s a nice way to continue the momentum you developed in the turn and move into the next move smoothly and efficiently.
