NASBLA\u2019s Paddlesports Committee launched the NPCH program to spotlight companies, outfitters, and livery operations that use their platforms to champion safety, not just style. Some examples of MBAC&#8217;s prioritization of safety include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mandatory life jacket policy.<\/strong> Participants, staff, and instructors are required to wear properly fitted personal flotation devices (PFDs) when paddling, fostering a culture of universal life jacket usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Education and clinics.<\/strong> MBAC provides customers with instructional orientations prior to renting and hosts single-day clinics for members and guests looking to increase their knowledge or experience in a safe and welcoming environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Online content.<\/strong> MBAC has created a series of <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/mbacvidz\">instructional tutorials on YouTube<\/a> promoting paddling safety both at MBAC and abroad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>MBAC is grateful for this recognition from a prestigious boating safety organization like NASBLA.
