It gets confusing right at the end when you describe a forward sweep as "reverse" (paddle is going in reverse) and a reverse sweep as "forward" (paddle is going forward). Beginner students easily get confused about this.

[@yakinsea]

The forward stroke is done by driving the planted paddle back (actually more accurately, one pulls the kayak past the planted paddle). So nothing confusing about the forward sweep; it's just a large arcing forward stroke improved by getting the kayak a bit on edge.
