National Paddlesports Conference & SUP Summit 2012 National Paddlesports Conference & SUP Summit ACA | Canoe - Kayak - SUP - Raft - Rescue Welcome to the 2012 ACA National Paddlesports Conference & SUP Summit: The ACA is the premier organization that represents paddlers of all abilities and in all venues across the country. Whether it’s our national standard for paddlesports instruction, our far reaching stewardship initiatives, insurance for your club or event, our commitment to paddlesports events and recreation, or simply competing in a local citizen’s race, our volunteers and staff are here to serve. As part of the ACA's leadership role in the paddlesports community, we have initiated this signature event to target multiple facets of canoeing, kayaking, rafting, SUP and rescue. Paddle safe – paddle often, The ACA Staff --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Brief History of the ACA Founded in 1880 by a group of 15 notable canoeists, the ACA has grown into the nation’s largest and most active nonprofit paddlesports organization with 30,000 members, over 150 Paddle America Clubs and 100 Affiliate Organizations across the United States and abroad. Through friendships forged in the 1870's through canoe sailing regatta's, regional canoe club events, and the canoe cruising and exploration of America's waterways, the ACA was established on the shores of Lake George, NY on August 3, 1880. Nathaniel H. Bishop, a prominent 19th century canoe explorer, was known as the 'father of the ACA'. Bishop, along with the first Commodore, William L. Alden, declared in the 1880-81 ACA Yearbook the object of the ACA "shall be the promotion of canoeing." Original focuses of the association were centered around: camaraderie, racing, poling, canoe sailing and extended waterway exploration. Throughout the early 20th century the ACA evolved from a loose knit group to an incorporated entity whose influence began to reach across the country as well as internationally. From the 1940's through the early 1990's, the ACA placed significant resources into all aspects of paddlesport competition, from local and national races to winning two World Championships to being the National Governing Body (NGB) for paddlesports for the U.S. Olympic Committee. With strong ties to the American Red Cross, the YMCA and the Boy Scouts of America, the instruction program was formalized in 1973 with the advent of the ACA Canoe Instruction Certification Committee. Over the past 40 years this committee has also been known as the Training Committee, the National Instruction Committee and currently, the Safety Education & Instruction Council. Publications of the organization began in the 1880's and ranged from Forest and Stream and The American Canoeist, to Canoe, Paddler and Paddle Dealer. Today, the ACA has partnered with Rapid Media. The ACA is dedicated to promoting canoeing, kayaking, rafting and stand up paddleboarding as wholesome lifetime recreational activities. We accomplish our mission by providing a variety of programs and public services in such areas as: event sponsorship, safety education, instructor certification, waterway stewardship, water trails, paddler's rights and protection, and public information campaigns. We are affiliated with over 300 organizations, such as Subaru of America, L.L. Bean, and the U.S. Coast Guard that help us to pursue our mission. For over 130 years, the ACA has been the voice of paddlers across the country. Through the tireless efforts of volunteers, committee members, board members, and staff, the ACA continues to work at the grassroots, regional and national levels to promote fun and responsible canoeing, kayaking, rafting & stand up paddleboarding on America's waterways. 2012 ACA National Paddlesports Conference & SUP Summit Charleston, SC A Letter from the President Why do you paddle? Ask a hundred different paddlers and you might get a hundred different answers – because there are hundreds of great reasons to paddle. Some paddle for excitement and adventure, others for a chance to spend time outside, and still others for a chance to be with friends and family. Most of us enjoy all of these reasons, and could add a lot more. But, no matter why you paddle, the American Canoe Association’s National Paddlesport Conference offers something to make your paddling more fun. The ACA is the oldest and largest paddling-focused organization in the US, and the only US organization that addresses all aspects of paddling. ACA members and staff do a huge range of things, such as teach paddling, clean waterways, represent the paddling community to regulators, and coordinate paddling events, all aimed at making paddling more fun for all paddlers. This year’s NPC will include seminars from some of the top educators in the US and Europe. The NPC also includes the ACA’s annual membership meeting, where members have a chance to help guide where the ACA is headed in the future. Regardless of your skill level or experience, the NPC has something to help make your paddling life better. But, the best part of the NPC may be the times between events, when you can speak (and paddle) with paddlers from around the country and make new paddling friends. I hope to see you there!

It is easily a hundred feet tall, solid and old, its glacial ice so compacted that the air pockets has been squeezed out, making it ever more blue. • Ice is everywhere here. The 74-foot Pelagic Australis’s deck is sheathed in a thin layer of it. The boat glances off sizable pieces broken away from the 700,000-square-mile pack that surrounds Antarctica each spring. While I’ve been here several times before, a few of my teammates are seeing these big bergs for the first time.
