Paddle UK SUP Safer Award
Who is the SUP Safer Award for? Well if you,
- Are relatively new to paddle-boarding?
- Want to raise your awareness of paddling your SUP safely?
- Want to learn practical solutions if you get into difficulty?
This award is for you!
Your course will support you to consider safe practices, explore and learn to appreciate the potential hazards you might encounter and be prepared to avoid or deal with them.
What’s involved?
First of all, this award is all about keeping safe on your SUP in sheltered water venues. So, whether you are paddling with friends or your club, this practical course is packed with safe practical solutions. It doesn’t matter about your age or whether you have limited SUP experience, this course supports your knowledge and raises your awareness of your personal safety.
If you needed any more convincing, the course is completely based around training, raising awareness with no assessment. Structured to support you, our experienced tutors will ensure you have plenty of time practising, as well as understanding how you can develop skills and experience after the course.
The course will cover 4 modules:
- SUP Equipment
- Environment and Weather
- Planning
- Safety on the Water
There will be opportunities to develop and progress your rescue skills and meet like-minded people during the course. Many of our course candidates develop long lasting friendships, connections and contacts.
The course is very practical. We will supply all the equipment needed, but you are encouraged to bring your own board. There will be chance to try some different ones out if you wish.
You will be spending a lot of time in the water. Please think about what paddling gear you are using. We do have wetsuits and drysuits available for hire if you wish to use them.
