Advanced Course
Canoe Control advanced whitewater kayak course. This course is available in a number of locations in the South West and included within the core course structure will be the current BCU 5 Star Kayak training and White Water safety & rescue and aquatic first aid. However this course will be ideal as a foundation for the new BCU 5 Star Kayak training.This is the ideal course for the progressive kayaker wanting to step up and dramatically improve their ability. Our course days will be spent on grade 3-4 white water. At this level of boating technical flaws can quickly be identified. To resolve any paddling issues, the first morning will be used to analyse students' boating skills. For this, a non-remote site, specific to the course standard will be used. The course group will then descend a section of river chosen for its suitability. Numerous types of rapids will be run - rocky, steep, technical, pool - drop and continuous, slides, drops, slots etc. Different styles and their merits when running each rapid will be reviewed. What are the seen dangers such as trees, stoppers, pinning rocks. What about the unseen dangers such as undercuts, siphons and entrapment etc? The consequences of all will be examined and discussed. Safety cover will be applied if it is considered necessary. On the river there will be sessions on group and self-awareness and at the end of each day there will be a video and review when students will have a full debrief on their day. This course will be presented by river professionals, guides/coaches who spend their working lives on the rivers of the world.
During the summer this course is also available in the French Alps and Provence. For further information on Alpine courses please refer to the French Alps page on the main menu.
