About this Talk
This sessionwill help you understand the Bell Boat, the opportunities it can provide for new, novice and experienced paddlers as well as exploring the role the Bell Boat Helm's play.
The Bell Boat Helm is a qualification from the British Canoeing Awarding Body award suit.
The Bell Boat Helm Award is aimed at teachers, coaches, youth leaders and others who wish to use Bell Boats to introduce and develop paddlers for paddlesport on very/sheltered water. The Bell Boat Helm takes responsibility for the crew and craft.
Bell Boats can be used year round for lots of different use cases, they are cost effective, stable and accessible.
