Paddle Discover Award

 

The British Canoe Union Paddle Discover Award is next after the Paddle Start Award. The program is designed for individuals who want to explore and develop their paddling skills further and covers a range of topics, including planning and safety.

Participants in the Paddle Discover award learn how to plan and execute a short journey on a sheltered waterway, using a range of techniques and skills. The program also covers important safety considerations, such as equipment selection, rescue techniques, and emergency procedures.

The program is delivered by Och Aye Canoe over 3 hours. The award is designed to build confidence and develop paddlers' independence, allowing them to explore new waterways and environments safely. It is ideal for those who want to develop their skills and knowledge further, whether for personal or professional reasons. The Paddle Discover award is recognised nationally and internationally and is a useful credential for those who wish to pursue further training or participate in organised paddling events.

Och Aye Canoe will run courses periodically throughout the year or you can contact us to find a date that suits you better subject to availability.
