Duffek popularized the bow draw stroke, aka "Duffek Stroke", as an effective means of pivoting a kayak. Before the bow stroke was popularized, only forward and reverse sweep strokes were generally used to turn a kayak. The Duffek Stroke turned a multi-stroke operation into a single stroke, which could then be combined with a forward stroke to continue momentum.
