Sploosh!

Bit choppy, did play ball, go for a bit of a distance paddle then arse about lots. Two people fell out and gave opportunities to practice deep sea rescues. A. did much discussing of technique and told some astoundingly bad jokes - pity he's taken. Much fun had learning how to bounce a ball out of the water onto your paddle then hurl it to/at someone.

Must be able to demonstrate:
· Basic forward & backward paddle and sweep strokes
· Emergency stop
· Basic capsize drill with deck on and complete a deep sea rescue
· Eskimo rescue (as a rescuee and rescuer)
· Recognisable pull draw, bow draw, scull draw, scull support (alternate low brace & forward paddle), low & high brace
· Deep sea rescue (unassisted)
· Can 'Hand-of-God' rescue a panicked beginner.
· Judge their own paddling capabilities and understand different skill levels.
· Soft skills (For supervising, wind, waves, tides, hypothermia, club safety requirements etc)
