Instruction to a kayaker (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paddle

(Other definitions for paddle that I've seen before include "If you were up the creek without one you'd be in trouble!" , "Manual propeller for canoe" , "Scull" , "Wade in water" , "row ensues" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
