Kayaking BCU 1-Star Award Course

The British Canoe Union's 1 star award is designed to be the first step in becoming a paddler.

Don't worry if this sounds a bit daunting, the course can be taken without any prior experience.

During the course you will gain all the relevant skills and theory needed for the assessment such as: safety awareness, equipment selection, launching and recovering, steering and controlling, kayaking theory, capsize drills and using spray decks.
