Paddle Canada Level 2
Level 2 builds on the skills covered in the Level 1 Program by refining existing skills and adding new ones like rolling and paddling in currents.  Touring skills are also introduced on an overnight trip. Anyone looking to tour in coastal waters should have these skills.

We love currents paddling around Quadra Island and we want you to come see what all the fuss is about!  Lots of rapids, boils, eddies, and big waves.  If this is your idea of a good time, come play with us.
