There are several methods to turn across eddy lines, but most modern tandem canoers have settled on the MITH method.

Momentum - be moving forward

Initiation - Do a stern pry, bow draw, or other initiation stroke to start the canoe turning.

Tilt - tilt the canoe towards the inside of the turn.

Hold - keep the tilt, forward momentum, and turn throught the rest of the eddy turn.
