Leaning

From KayakWiki

Leaning is simply to lean one's body and kayak towards any side. Unlike Edging, one no longer posseses an upright line of the centre of gravity as the body and boat becomes slanted together towards the water surface of the side of the boat.

Leaning forward to the bow of one's kayak facilitates in capsize drills and is an important part of the initial setup for Rolling.
