Cornwall Outdoors is a provider of the British Canoeing Paddle Awards and Personal Performance Awards in paddlesport skills. We provide British Canoeing awards for all levels of ability and in all types of paddlesport craft from kayak to sea kayak to open canoe. If you are seeking training in any of the canoe or kayak disciplines contact us to discuss your needs.
The three Paddle Awards are for those getting into a boat for the first time, enabling them to feel confident in their chosen craft in a sheltered water environment. The awards help empower the paddler, enabling them to start their lifelong journey into paddlesport.
The personal performance awards are discipline specific and follow the pathway of your choice. We speciliase in Open Canoeing, Sea Kayaks and Kayaks. There are three awards in each type of paddle-craft and we can guide you through the syllabus of each.
Depending on the award that you are currently taking we will spend time developing your core skills in the craft of your choice. Our experienced and qualified staff will help progress you towards success.
The paddle award scheme is a progressive system and it is recommended that candidates approach the awards over a number of weeks, rather than through an intensive course over a couple of days. To discuss your paddlesport development please contact us to arrange an appropriate course.
