ACA Announces Spring Release of Newest Safety Video: "Decide to Return: A Strategy for Safe Sea Kayaking"
Pre-orders Now Being Accepted

In partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard, the American Canoe Association announces its newest education tool: "Decide to Return: A Strategy for Safe Sea Kayaking." The program, in the final stages of production, is scheduled for an early spring 2007 release. The 11-minute video provides instructors, boating safety educators, and clubs and organizations, dramatic visual footage and training aids designed to inform and raise the awareness of the casual kayaker to the risks of venturing offshore in open coastal waters.

For a limited time, until March 15, 2007, ACA instructors and paddlesport program providers can order the video at the discounted rate of $15.00 ($25.00 value) including shipping and handling. To order, download the Special DVD Order Form at http://www.americancanoe.org/inside/info4bod/Feb2007/dvdorderform2.pdf and mail or fax with credit card information or payment to the indicated address. The videos will be shipped no later than April 1, 2007.

Produced by the award winning team of Russ and Alison Nichols and Dr. Robert Kauffman (Cold, Wet and Alive and Heads Up! Rescue for River Runners), this video and the accompanying training materials (CD with PowerPoint presentation and 16-page discussion guide) are a must-have for every kayak instructor, club safety officer, boating safety coordinator, or paddlesport program provider.

The training program was produced in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating (Wallop-Breaux) Trust Fund.
