SSDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[danielsin2]

Studying at NP right now, and I took my kayaking cert about... 3 years back? Too bad I never collected the card/cert, so I'm as good as uncertified. Haha, right now... I'm into windsports. You?

 

I finally passed my lesson 2 after 5 attemps. HAHA!

 

My vote: Pikachu too.

 

Ive gt kayaking 2 star.

Btw u took ur course at Water venture/ seasports club??

They will have records of ur course and u could print ur certs frm them.

 

Ohh congratulations!

 

Anyways how do I go about to get certified to paddle my own kayak?

 

You can go down to any water venture club.

Then apply if they have courses running now or if nt gather afew friends and start a ''class''.

 

If u take up 1 star course u can only paddle in a restricted area.

If 2 star, u can do more things like expeditions to funny funny places like ubin or frog island.

 

wah i didn't know kayaking also need cert one.

 

yeah man! Knowledge gained!!

 

Me too, till I read the posts above.

 

haha. when younger i also tot jus rent and go only!!

Then how come when I went for OBS in secondary school they didn't require us to have certification? *gasp* OBS is breaking the rules!

Thanks! Now I gotta fret about the other 3 courses...

 

The most basic level is the kayaking 1 star license (there's 2 stars - 5 stars after it). Several clubs offer this certification, but the most well established is Water Venture, which is under the People's Association.

 

You can google a list of associations that offer a 1 star kayaking license (:

 

wah i didn't know kayaking also need cert one.

 

You don't need a license to rent some kayaks, if I'm not wrong. My friend told me that you don't need 1 star to rent a open-top kayak (the kind that looks quite flat). Plus, there are some outlets that close one eye...

 

However, the sit-in kayaks require a 1 star license, or more, depending on the craft. Gotta know how to do a capsize drill, and various other things that I forgot about. HAHA!

Ehh, I took my license at Paddle Culture. I'd rather take another time from Water Venture, since my bf doesn't have his 1 star yet. Can accompany him.

Got licensed instructor there shouldn't be a problem. It's like holding a PDL. But, what you learn in OBS is pretty much what taught in your 1-star certification course.

I did that before too!

 

It depends on the make of the kayak, if it's likely that it will fill with water (and sink) in the event of a capsize, then they'll usually ask for a license.

Oh interesting stuff, haha. Considering taking up the courses when I do have the money and time to spend, hee.

[danielsin2]

with regards to thursday tp, anyone would like to go RC on wed?

 

i suggest u go RC on tues instead.

 

Cos if u do RC and other revisions on Wed, u will very tired for thurs.

What u will need is just rest. Im sure ur courses are very good ar.

 

 

I was given this advise during my tp by someone who has over 20yrs riding ex.

And i just decided to listen to him. And wat he said was very very true!

hi fellow riders!!

 

i just passed my 2b tp a few days ago (260309) on my 2nd attempt. i would like to thank all instructors who imparted their knowledge and riding skills to me. will be getting a TA150 soon which i will ride for 1yr++ before im eligible to upgrade to class 2a. I promise i will return to ssdc in the spanking new circuit in one year's time to take my class 2a licence!

 

any tips from any instructor to a newbie 2b rider?

[ahcaibiker]

I fully agree. Avoid going for RC the night before your test. Use that evening to relax and focus your mind instead.

 

If you've been going for RC regularly, it's okay to have 1-2 days gap before your test. The idea of RC is to familiarise yourself with the test format and be comfortable with handling your bike (i.e. things like wobbling etc).

 

Have a good rest before your test and go there early for the warm up. Good luck!
