Sit on Top and Canoe and Kayak Fishing
Firstly it is possible for paddlesport coaches to provide a good
introduction to SOT activity and while this doesn’t necessarily need to
be through the BCU Star Awards, Paddlepower, and Paddlesport Start
Awards and the
BCU 1 - 3 Star Awards can all accommodate SOT activity if
encouraging milestones to learning and progression.
Alternatively, SOT paddlers and Canoe and Kayak Anglers can be directed
to other options that can all encourage a better understanding of
paddlesport, improved skills development, and safety;
- GENERAL TASTER SESSIONS
- BESPOKE TRAINING
- INTRO TO SEA
- INTRO TO MOVING WATER
- FOUNDATION SAFETY RESCUE TRAINING
- INTRO TO SURF
- WHITE WATER SAFETY RESCUE TRAINING
- COASTAL NAVIGATION
Additionally a Canoe and Kayak Fishing Safety Award for those
taking to the water with fishing specifically in mind has just been
completed. The objective of this module will not be to teach fishing,
however, it will provide guidance to anglers in respect of boat
handling, safety, self rescue, equipment storage, and safe mooring and
anchoring.
A range of dates and venues will be available shortly.
