Basic kayaking course for beginners / Meloja 1-kurssi EPP1

Tiedot

Event description:
Basic kayaking course for beginners. The aim of the course is to provide the
participants with the facilities to continue learning about paddling on their own in easy weather conditions.

The course is intended for adults and youth aged 16 to 18. Even younger persons
can participate, if they are physically capable of handling a touring kayak. Vihuri has separate courses intended for children.

The paddling course familiarises you with:
- paddling gear and its handling
- paddling technique
- paddling safety
- paddling etiquette

Vihuri's Paddler 1 course adheres to the recommendations of the Finnish Canoeing and Rowing Association. Participants are issued a Paddler 1 skill card (EPP1).

The course takes place on a Saturday and Sunday. The course contains a two-hour theory part that is to be studied online before the course. The theory portion contains information about paddling and paddling technique, and leaves more time for honing skills during close contact teaching. You will receive a link to the online course later on.

Your registration is binding. The course fee is returned (minus a 10 euro handling fee) only with a medical certificate stating you're unable to take part in the course.
