Students that complete the Advanced Style Canoeing course display a high degree of boat control and are able to present a complex paddling routine on the water.
At this level, new core skills are added, including an introduction to Freestyle Paddling. Manoeuvres must be completed on both paddling sides – cross strokes, switching sides, and weight shifting are acceptable during routines as long as the transition is smooth.
Students in this course are encouraged to develop or innovate additional manoeuvres on their own and routines and manoeuvres should be a reflection of the paddler not the instructor.
8 hours of instruction and expect 16 hours of personal practice time.
