Star awards
Paddle power/sport
Paddlepower (kids) and sport (adults) provide a fun yet structured introduction to paddling.  While the paddling basics are introduced the focus is on boat and water confidence and fun.
Most paddle providers offer these courses on request..
People offering paddle sport and power currently are:
  • The Share Centre
  • Mobile team adventure
Star Awards - 1 and 2 star
These two awards test basic paddling skills in closed cockpit and open canoe in sheltered water.  These two courses provide the fundamentals for good paddling skills later in ones "paddling" life.
The 2 star award ensures competent  paddling of both canoe and kayak.  For the passing of this award assessment in both craft must be passed.  The 2 star award builds on the basics of the 1 star award but the 1 star does not have to be completed prior to the 2 star.
Currently offering 1 and 2 star courses by arrangement are:
