Adults Only Mixed Craft Taster Session

You will experience your first session on the water; learning the fundamental skills for an enjoyable time on the water whether that be on a Kayak, Paddleboard (SUP) or Canoe the choice is yours!

Led by your instructor, this relaxed learning environment will develop your key skills with other people of a similar age and aims.

We will provide you with the basic knowledge and skills to enable you to get on the water safely and make your craft move in all directions, with fun and games along the way.

After the session you will have gained your British Canoeing Paddle Start Award (and eCertificate on request). The skills learnt in the session will make you feel safe and confident when out on the water with a group of more experienced paddlers.

The Start Award will give you the confidence to begin progressing towards making your own choices and paddling independently and acts as a great stepping stone into the PADDLE DISCOVER AWARD.
