Show Notes

In this episode, Daryl Spencer has taken the Level 3 course three times. In our conversation he shares how each experience was different. Now on the path to becoming a Level 3 instructor himself, Daryl also offers practical advice for paddlers who are considering taking the course.

Unlike Levels 1 and 2, where paddlers are introduced to new skills, Level 3 expects participants to arrive with a solid foundation of knowledge and ability. According to Paddle Canada - Just around 15% of those who passed level 2 moved on to level 3 . The course focuses on applying those skills in more dynamic conditions.
