Course Summary:
Tollymore has been running 5 Star trainings and assessments for over 15 years. We run our courses on our North coast utilising the Benbane Head, The Causeway, the many surf beaches and of course the many tide races found off Rathlin. Our 5 Stars are also planned to coincide with Spring Tides to take advantage of the most reliable conditions available on the day.

This 5 Star Award is intended for paddlers who journey on the sea in areas where tidal races, headlands, open crossings, swell and challenging coastlines may be encountered. The award should be accessible to all those people who journey on the sea and should not be seen as the preserve of a few elite performers. It is envisaged that the average club member canoeing regularly, should be able to obtain this award within three years of starting to paddle.

A variety of skills will be assessed over the weekend, including:

– Planning journeys along exposed coastlines free from landings and open water crossings

– Boat handling skills in advanced water, rolling in rough water, self rescue, boat control in tidal races, coping with wind, negotiating reefs, etc

– Correctly applying a range of leadership styles and group management strategies

– Application of safety and rescue skills

– Use of equipment appropriate to this environment, tow lines, flares, boat repair

– Surf landings, rock hoping, incident management.

Who is the course for?
