The first ever ACA River Kayak Hand Paddling endorsement and skills course curriculum was approved during the SEIC and ACA Board of Directors meetings in late February. Currently certified Level 2: Essentials of River Kayaking instructors (or higher) will soon be eligible to receive the endorsement and deliver this new river kayaking educational resource for paddlers who want to improve their hand paddling skills as either a primary or secondary tool. The program roll out plan will be launched later this season. Please contact the SEI Department for more information: sei@americancanoe.org.
