PTC UNIVERSITY PRESENTS - Kayak Skills Testing to the American National Standard

Can you meet the metrics identified for entry‑level on‑water kayak skills? Do you teach these minimum competencies to your students or customers? Join us for a fun, hands‑on, water session designed to review and demonstrate the entry‑level skills outlined in the American National Standard — ABYC EDU‑2 On‑Water Recreational Boating Skills (Human‑Propelled).

This interactive session also includes free access to NASBLA’s instructional reference, The Presenter’s Guide to Paddlesports Safety – Kayak, developed by the NASBLA Paddlesports Committee, which provides clear guidance for presenting these foundational skills to novice paddlers.
