Do you back ferry?

[Einar]

Efficiency of strokes is a fine goal but I am there for the fun. Nothing I like better than moving around around a river on a series of back strokes, just to juice it up. Sometimes it all ends in paddle tragedy and sometimes not, but knowing that it might happen is part of the fun too.

Not on all rivers,but the more difficult it gets,the more i use it.Especially on unfamiliar rivers with a higher degree of consequence.But never when i paddle with a 'yaker,use 'em as speed bumps and ramps over holes.
