Level II skills participants get assessed for BCU 3 star certification

For the first time ever, we’ve added a component to our Paddle Canada Level II Sea kayaking skills program.  We’ve brought in a BCU instructor to access the participants for their 3 star certification (which is very similar in skill level to the PC Level II course).  David Johnston, of paddlinginstructor.com, and an instructor trainer with Paddle Canada, came up from the big city of Toronto to co-teach this course with Chicago’s Bonnie Perry, a BCU Coach 3 as well as an ACA (American Canoe Association) instructor.

Lake Superior has done its best to provide some conditions that would be suitable for the Level II participants to strut their stuff in.  We’ve had great on-shore winds to create some waves.  Joel Cooper, resident of Sandy Beach, took a few shots of the gang working their surf skills.

If you are looking at playing around in some surf- check out our Surf Superior Confluence coming up the first weekend in October.
