Don't be afraid to say stern squirt. It pays homage to those intrepid squirt boaters and their sparkling helmets. One tip I suggest to those who are learning to stern squirt it to look at the back of the boat it helps wind up the torso and it drops the edge. You should wound up enough to let go of the paddle and it shouldn't hit your boat.

At 4:25, you talk about 'releasing a sweep stroke'--not sure exactly what this means? Thanks

@@jabenm Basically when you are entering the current from an eddy to initiate your stern squirt, you want to essentially wind up your body. You do this by reaching your paddle blade back towards your stern. The release is when you unwind your body into a sweep stroke, unwinding from your stern towards your bow.
