A one day assessment course covering all aspects of the white water 3 star kayak
award.
This course is registered with the governing bodies for assessment.
You will need to be up to standard before taking the assessment.
(Check dates for training days before) A 5 mile river trip will cover the grade
II river requirements. All equipment provided if required. We aim to make this
day relaxed and give you a chance to show yourself as a paddler.
Successful performance at this level indicates that the paddler can consider
themselves an intermediate kayaker, as they can now paddle on moving waters.
They can do this in a competent manner as part of a led group and have the knowledge
and ability to help the smooth running of a trip while being led down a section
of a grade 2 river.
