Counteract the rotation with your fins. The greater the change of

changes in direction won't require much effort, if any at all.

Imagine as a worst case casting directly behind you.

That sounds plausible, and if you manage to coordinate your finning
with your casting it will also doubtless work, but I have never
managed it in my tubes ( belly-boats) . In my main pontoon boat, I
don´t use fins anyway, just the oars. Often I have been fishing in
very very cold water, and it is best to keep your legs out of it, as
otherwise you cant stay out long without freezing.

If you are trying to make large direction changes in a cast, then you
are going to get some twist anyway. I don´t know how to avoid that.

The energy concerned is always going to be transmitted to the boat, no
matter what you do, but you can minimise the effects.
