The only negative is you can't see where you
: are going, like in a canoe or kayak.

I have seen it in a book and on a TV documentary that in Southeast Asia, some locals row their boat facing forward with either their hands or the oar crossing in front of their body.
I cannot remember where it was or exactly how it was done. May be someone can fill in the gap.
