Progressive Canoe Award

Progressive Canoe Award

This award is designed to give you the skills needed in order to facilitate a safe day out canoeing on grade two (3) rivers and areas of open water with winds of up to force 4. We’ll help to progress your personal paddling skills along with your decision making to give you the confidence to be out in such conditions.

British Canoeing Description

‘Your Progressive Canoe Award endorses your ability to apply appropriate decision making skills for a safe day out canoeing on grade 2(3) rivers and large areas of open water. On open inland water, you might be up to 500m from shore and in winds up to and including force 4. If travelling on the sea, you would be using sheltered areas, small bays and harbours with the minimal possibility of being blown offshore. When on the sea, you will be happy operating in force 3 winds (force 2 if the wind direction is offshore). This award should be seen as a sound basis for independently building the experience and expertise associated with Advanced Canoe Award holders.’
