Level 3 Kayak Skills Assessment

Take your paddling to the next level and join us at the Canoe Centre Dublin for your Level 3 Kayak River Skills Assessment - the benchmark for confident, capable and self reliant paddlers.

What will you be assessed on?

Following the Canoeing Ireland Level 3 River Skills syllabus, we'll look for:

• Boat Control & Positioning - Smooth efficient manoeuvres, to include breaking in & out and ferry gliding
• Safety & Awareness - Reading the river, anticipating hazards, keeping both you and the group safe
• Confidence in Grade II / II+ water - Controlled paddling in a variety of features and conditions
• Self Rescue Skills - Confident swimming, the roll, equipment recovery and supporting others

• Paddle with ease - Move with the water, not against it
