Paddle Canada Level 2 Skills

Take Your Kayaking to the Next Level!

This 32 hour course builds on the skills introduced in the Paddle Canada Level 1 Skills course. More in-depth Navigation, Trip Preparation and Weather Interpretation are covered on a daily basis. New paddle strokes, rescue techniques and rolling is introduced. Paddling moves from sheltered waters to more dynamic conditions. This is a course that builds the confidence to go from day-paddling in sheltered waters to more of a coastal touring environment. This course is available in two formats. Weekend: 4 sessions over two weekends. Weeknight: 5 sessions camping in the Howe Sound or Sechelt Inlet.

This course will show you what’s possible when you go touring…
