Post by hdonnelly » Thu Dec 15, 2016 9:19 am

Our ‘First Step’ courses are aimed at newcomers and are an ideal way to get a taste of life afloat. By the end of this First Step Canoeing Skills course you should be paddling your canoe confidently in sheltered water, have a good understanding of the principles of safe paddling and be ready to move on to the next level.

The day will be spent on the water enjoying a guided journey among the Islands on Strangford Lough. The final destination will be weather dependent.

Skills covered include boat selection and fit, forward paddling, turning, steering and balancing, and safety skills, such as equipment selection, what to carry afloat, what to wear and planning simple trips on the sea. We can also offer advice on equipment purchase and joining a club.

This First Step Canoeing Skills is a one day course has been tailored for those wishing to give Open Canoeing a go for the first time or for those individuals wanting to get back into a boat after an extended break.

The canoe is the ultimate family friendly craft, so if you’re a parent or a couple keen to gain easy access to the water then look no further. Also if the freedom of simply slipping off the river bank and setting off down one of our world class canoe trail excites you then we look forward to welcoming you to the Centre on our next course.
