Educating the Paddler The Next Water Safety Challenge for the Coast Guard Auxiliary

Why Paddlesports? ▪ A decade of explosive retail sales growth ▪ Projected sustained growth through ▪ USCG recreational boating projections for 2020: ◦ 47 million paddlers ◦ 92 million traditional boaters

More Paddlers More Safety Issues

What the Statistics Show Canoe and Kayak Fatalities Increase by Almost 70%

Why Are Paddlers Vulnerable? ▪ They lack boating knowledge ▪ Fail to wear or carry the proper safety gear ▪ Overestimate their personal skill levels ▪ Underestimate environmental conditions ▪ Sometimes paddle under the influence of alcohol or drugs

What We Know and May Not Know ▪ It is a well known fact that boating safety instruction can reduce the number of boating related injuries and fatalities. ▪ What is probably not so well known is that the paddlesports community wants safety training but does not know where to get it.

How the Auxiliary Can Help How the Auxiliary Can Help ▪ Teach the Paddlesports America Course: Did you know that 80% of the course content is the same as the Auxiliary ABS course? Instructors only need to become familiar with the content of Chapter One.

How the Auxiliary Can Help How the Auxiliary Can Help ▪ Conduct Paddlecraft Vessel Safety Checks: The size of these boats makes it possible to conduct several vessel safety checks at the same time in a seminar like setting.

How the Auxiliary Can Help ▪ Refocus Public Affairs Activities: Engage the media. Raise awareness of the inherent hazards of paddlesports recreation and promote the Paddlesports America Course.

How the Auxiliary Can Help ▪ Program Visitors: Establish a relationship with businesses and organizations that interact with the paddlesports community. Stock these facilities with paddlesports safety information and the new paddlecraft owner decals.

Auxiliary Paddlesports Resources ▪ Check the Public Education and Vessel Examination Departments websites ▪ Visit the new Paddlesports page on AuxBWiki:

Reaching Out to the Paddlesports Community ▪ Conventional Boat Shows ▪ Hunting, Fishing, Travel and RV Shows ▪ Paddling Events and Festivals ▪ Paddlesport Dealer “Demo” Days ▪ River or Shoreline Clean Up Events ▪ Paddlecraft launch sites
