Stern
Whirly-Bird: 
This is a whirly-bird with your head in the water or just above.
Once you can stall the boat on its stern by putting all your body
weight in the water, put the blade at 45° inline with your
head and do draw strokes remembering head rotation in the direction
of your draw. The boat will now spin on its vertical axis with
the bow in the air.
If it becomes unstable you can smash the bow down into a front
stall and do a whirly-bird or bring it round in a cartwheel back
into a stern whirly-bird again.
If you can do these the options for play are endless and it makes
things like split-wheels easier!
