Touring Award
This award from Paddle UK (formerly British Canoeing) is designed to develop your ability to apply appropriate decision making skills to an enjoyable and safe day out touring on a Stand Up Paddle Board. We will look further at the skills and knowledge required to complete a longer journey on the water.
