- Remounting: Can remount from one side in moderate conditions (small waves, light wind) without assistance.
- Emergency Skills: Can paddle to shore in moderate conditions with a paddle; limited ability without a paddle (e.g., using hands or partial paddle).
- Assistance: Can provide basic assistance to others (e.g., stabilising a boat) in calm to moderate conditions.
- Downwind: Can catch small waves and maintain basic control in downwind conditions but lacks consistent flow or navigation precision.
- Upwind: Can paddle upwind in winds up to 15 knots with moderate efficiency.
- Additional Notes: Developing confidence in varied conditions, improving stroke efficiency, and learning basic wave-riding techniques.
