• Paddle standing up in a straight line for 100 metres

• Turn the board 360 degrees in both directions using two different techniques

• Turn the board whilst moving

• Increase and decrease paddle strength and rhythm over 100 metres

• Paddle upwind, downwind and crosswind in a light breeze.

• Prone paddle (self-rescue) & demonstrate getting back on your board from the water
