I would like to be taught some other strokes.

Here's a repost of a link from another thread

I like Bill Mason's instructional vids better than anything I've run across on u-tube, even if they are a bit dated.

J-strokes are harder with a bent shaft because the blade of the paddle is at the wrong angle for the stern pry unless you move it farther out from the boat. So prying off the gunwale (klunk ... klunk ... klunk) will not work, it has to be done with the shoulder muscles. A C stroke (added bow draw) makes things easier by shifting a bit of the course correction work to the start of the stroke from the end.
