General Safety Issues
1. All craft MUST be eqippped with a CG approved life vest.
2. An Assumption of Risk form MUST be signed before you enter the race course.
3. Safety escort boats are for saving humans first. The safety of the paddler, the chase boat driver and his vessel are first, then comes the issue of your paddlecraft.
4. Participants are expected to know their limitations and skill level. Do not race if you do not feel up to it.
5. Paddle smart. Watch surf lines and boat traffic.

* "Life jackets and whistles are required for all participants. Those not wearing a lifejacket or without a lifejacket on their boat will be disqualified. All participants are required to suspend racing and aid any racer in distress. The race director reserves the right to require participants to wear life jackets, to refuse entry to any participant and to change the course. All decisions of the race director are final."


Emergency Considerations
In the event of a "huli" or capsized canoe that has not sustained permanent damage-
stay with your canoe if is still afloat. Signal for the nearest paddler if you are having difficulty righting your canoe.
*ALL participants: Be aware that SAFETY is FIRST. If you see someone encountering trouble on the course, please determine that they are OK before proceeding.


Signalling for help
We expereinced an little glitch in the signalling system last weekend. In an effort to assure all paddlers that their "wave" for assistance isnt discounted as just a social gesture, we will be instructing our safety boat captains to pull up to any paddler who waves their arms, paddle or life vest. The more visible and audible you can be (when possible) the better.
