The Safety & Sending Package

 

Paddle365 understands that White Water Safety isn't about discouraging risk based challenges... It's about taking them on with control, together!   This is a 4 day course combing a PaddleUK certificated safety training course with 2 days paddling together as a team at the top end of your group's ability. We'll aim to develop skills and knowledge in safe whitewater kayaking practice, while putting it into practice in the best possible way!  

 

This is available as a grade 3 course including PaddleUK White Water Safety, and as a grade 4 course including Paddle UK Advanced White Water Safety.  These courses will be delivered by coaches who are operating at the cutting edge of white water skill, safety and understanding in advanced environments.  We aim to develop attendees to not only understand the safe operation of high level white water kayaking trips, but to revel in it!  ​​​​

​

This course can also be used as an opportunity to work toward and certify the Progressive White Water Award, or Advanced White Water Award.
