SUP Safer Course Launch
Jun 23, 2022
British Canoeing Awarding Body has announced the NEW SUP Safer course which is designed for anyone new or relatively novice to Stand Up Paddleboarding, wanting to gain knowledge, and raise their awareness of their personal safety.
The 4-hour programme is delivered within a sheltered water environment which participants will explore in a fun, educational and engaging way.
The SUP Safer course is based on the British Canoeing Awarding Body Educational Philosophy and, as such, the ethos of ‘supporting the paddler’ is the main focus of the course, encouraging individuals to consider where they paddle, the equipment they use, planning their trips and providing practical solutions if they get into difficulty on the water.
The course is suitable for all ages and great for individuals, families and groups wanting to expand their SUP safety practices when on the water.
The Scottish Canoe Association are training up 30+ providers of this course and they can be found below:
