Paddle UK Explore Award
The Explore Award is an improvement course to help kayakers enhance their fundamental paddling skills with the aim to equip paddlers with the confidence and knowledge to undertake independent adventures safely on rivers.
During the course we'll look at differences between watercraft, review core paddling strokes, practice skills to prevent us from capsizing and use self-rescue techniques. Also in this award we will explore taking ownership of decisions and making confident choices based on the places you paddle, wind and weather.
Each course is tailored to the needs of individuals, with lots of time for discussion and time to practise and develop confidence in all the taught skills.
Next steps beyond this course are our Paddlesport Safety & Rescue Course and our Intermediate Paddling Whitewater and Surf Kayak courses.
