: true, because you would tie your rope around his neck :) :) :)

: hey,,, I'm trying to be serious here....... It DOES work

It may help you accomplish your goal, but if the general goal is to move with any speed or have any control over maneuverability you really need torso rotation and the ability to use the paddle in more locations than would be allowed by a rope tied to the bow. So, while it would work, so would stretching to improve flexibility and strength training.
