About the event

Discover Paddling Course
Through this award, you will learn how to choose and effectively use the equipment, whilst developing an understanding of the factors which affect your paddling. You can take the award from any craft, from kayaks, canoes, or SUPs.

Our coaching is tailored to the participant's needs and based on over 180 years of combined coaching experience. The British Canoeing Personal Performance Awards are in place to ensure participants learn the correct techniques and syllabus for the 'Discover' qualification. Learn how to choose and effectively use the equipment, whilst developing an understanding of the factors which affect your paddling; giving you the confidence to progress to making your own choices with the next step Explore Award.

The awards take place on sheltered water on our local river, The River Great Ouse, 4th longest in Britain with structure coaching in bite-sized chunks. We also offer some awards as part of our expeditions and trips to other locations such as the Yukon River Canoe Expedition, Best of Scotland Canoe Trip, and trips to other locations. We have a range of paddlesport courses, If you need a bespoke course such as a group introduction to bigger moving water or expedition training then please contact us.

The New Personal Performance Awards (Paddle Awards) are British Canoeing’s pathway to becoming a competent paddler from Novice to Intermediate and then onwards to more advanced water and techniques. The syllabus allows for a personalized journey to develop core skills to feel confident and safe on sheltered water in a kayak or canoe or stand-up paddleboard.
* If for any reason, dates may need to change at Canoe Trail's discretion. This will be notified in advance.
