Outrigger Steering: Three Basis Rules

From So Now You Want to Steer an Outrigger Canoe by Brent Bagnall:

There are three basic rules to remember when steering:
  1. It is always better to understeer than to oversteer.


  2. Steer to paddle, don’t paddle until you have to steer.


  3. Always give back what you take away
