Paddling technique

Peel out (leaving an eddy)

Also: peel out

In a peel out you leave the eddy and enter the main current. The boat is edged downstream.

Wikibooks: accelerate with one or two forward strokes, leave the eddy heading upstream, edge the boat downstream and be ready to brace. The current then turns the bow downstream. In English this is called a peel out.
