Paddle Host

Go straight to document, forms, checklists.

Day before the event

  • Receive current RSVP checklist of participants received from the Paddle Host Coordinator (list indicates how many to expect, who still needs to sign a waiver).
  • Download and print out a few paper copies of ACA waivers, ENC applications, and have some ENC brochures on hand

Day of event

  • Review Trip Leader Checklist as a model for guidance
  • Check to see that all participants have signed the annual Paddlesports America waiver.

Documents / Forms

  • ENC Membership Application (PDF) — used to join or renew membership to Explore North Coast.
  • Digital Waiver — Save paper and sign the e-waiver.
  • Adult and Minor Waiver (PDF) — ACA Liability Release form for an adult.
  • Incident/Accident Report (PDF) — hopefully, this form will not be needed, but it’s here just in case.

Checklists / Guidelines

  • Host Trip Leader Checklist (PDF) — a check list for leading a club event.
  • ACA Risk Management (PDF) — ACA’s requirements for conducting safe paddling events. Many topics covered are very applicable to hosting a club paddle.
