What is the Discover Kayaking Award?
The Discover Award allows you to develop your decision making and practical skills for a fun and safe time on the water, as you become a more skilled and independent paddler. Through this award, you will learn how to choose and effectively use equipment, whilst developing an understanding of the factors which affect your paddling.
Who is it for?
Anyone of any age who want to develop their skills on the water. You don’t need any previous experience to take this award, just the desire for fun on a kayak.
Why should I do the Discover Kayaking Award?
If you want to develop your skills from your Start Award? Or feel like you need to expand your basic paddling knowledge further? This is the award you need. The award covers topics such as:
- Encouraging independent decision making on different bodies of water (moving river, canal, estuary, harbour), covering safety and weather aspects too
- Preparing for self-guided adventures
- Equipment you will need for a variety of paddle trips
- Further developing your kayak paddling and rescue skills
