The aim of the 2 star test is to show that you have control over a canoe and kayak on sheltered water. We look at the skills needed to move your canoe/kayak around easily and gracefully, but more importantly we get you to be able to decide how to modify those skills depending on the weather and what you want the boat to do.More Info
