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;  

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. ..
