Basic techniques and knowledge that every flatwater kayaker should become familiar with when they’re starting out, whether they’re interested in racing or recreation.Paddle-sport clubs have different approaches to teaching and to how the various techniques are executed. Their rules – and the national regulations for kayakers – vary as well. This book is intended only as a starting point for instruction, and there is room for interpretation.
The text is aimed at advanced beginners, and designed to help them satisfy the requirements for Euro Paddle Pass Level 2 (Green Paddle).
