Personal Performance Award - Touring

2 days on touring coaching with the NEW British Canoeing Personal Performance Awards

PPA – Touring

The Personal Performance Awards are discipline specific, it’s at this stage that you can specialise into the bit of the sport you enjoy the most. Training courses take place in a variety of sheltered and moderate water environments, you’ll be paddling in winds (if conditions allow) and tidal flows to develop your boat handling and rescue skills. The new Personal Performance Awards are now broken down into 3 stages, for the touring award you have the ‘Touring Award’, the ‘Open Water Touring Award’ and the ‘Multi Day Touring Award’ and in each award you can choose the craft you wish to do it in (Canoe or Kayak). For more information on these awards click the awards below. We highly recommend you view the course outlines and come with an idea of which award to go for. On one of our 2 day courses it is highly unlikely we will offer the Multi Day Touring Award, if this is something you were after please contact us to discuss availability.

We will meet in Beauileu, Hampshire, on the first day where we will go through planning and navigation work and personal skills on the Beaulieu River. The second day will be spent either in Dorset or Hampshire and you’ll be involved in planning and completing a journey in the craft or your choice for the second day.

Experience of being in a Canoe or Kayak is essential, we advise that you’ve been canoeing a few times at the least. This experience can be gained on any of our courses or our membership programme.

More information

We supply all paddling equipment you’ll need for a great day on the water.

On the course we’ll go through; Basic planning & route choices, journeying in canoes or kayaks, boat handling technique, safety & rescue and more.

Participants must be 16 years or over

"Brilliant!"

Went on an intro to sea kayaking. Our instructor Leander gave clear and concise instructions when we took to the water we had a fantastic time. We paused occasionally to take in new skills and tips. By the end, we were truly comfortable in our kayaks. I had never been in a kayak before but now can’t wait to do it again.

"Sea kayaking training"

I attended a sea day and a kayak rolling course. Both days were very well planned, good equipment supplied with excellent coaching and guiding and tailored to the group’s skill and experience level. Very happy, and I have already rebooked for further training courses.

"Rolling a kayak!"

I spent 2 hours learning how to roll a kayak. The instructor gave us clear instructions and was very helpful, spending time with everyone, making sure we all got to grips with the technique.

"A great day out learning new skills"

My friend and I joined a Sea Kayak Explorer Day. Our instructor Steve took us on an enjoyable trip past Old Harry Rocks which gave us the opportunity to try out some more challenging conditions and exercises. We felt that Steve’s affable and engaging character enabled the group to relax and enjoy themselves whilst benefitting from his experience and guidance. We would certainly recommend this trip to anyone looking to improve their kayaking and enjoy a great day out.

"Excellent as always!"

I have been kayaking with Liquid Logistics for many years now, at a rate of once a year! Every session is fun and I always feel safe. I have complete faith in all the instructors. I always recommend these guys and look forward to paddling with them again next year!

"Super helpful"

Steve and Chris were super helpful during my rolling session. They were great at tailoring advice and explaining in an easy to understand way.
