By developing your paddling skills you dare to do more!

The Technique 1 course takes your paddling skills to a new level

After the Technique 1 course you can enjoy paddling in more varied conditions and plan longer paddling trips. The course deepens the skills learned on the basic course and we focus on the paddling techniques required in the Paddler 2 skills test.

This course is one of the three parts of the Paddler 2 training package. We also recommend the Paddler 2 level courses to all paddlers who want to refresh the skills they have already learned.

The main themes of the course:

• Paddling forwards and backwards and stopping.
