At West Coast Rowing Adventures, safety is our priority number one. What does it mean for you ?
Our guides are highly experienced in flat water, coastal and ocean rowing. We know and live in the area and decisions are made with safety as a guiding principle.
Our guides have the following certifications:
VHF Restricted Operator License (Maritime)
Marine First Aid
Rowing Canada Aviron Performance Coach
Our rowing boats carry all the required safety equipment as per Transport Canada Regulations for Human Powered Small Craft.
Every day begins with a safety briefing that includes a demonstration or reminder of safety procedures and equipment, and a detailed description of the rowing plan (e.g. navigation key points, on-board charts, potential hazards).
We may decide to stay on land, offer alternative activities, or adapt the rowing program for safety purposes.
A Validation Form may be sent to participants to confirm rowing and fitness abilities. We reserve the right to refuse someone on a tour if we feel that it could jeopardize the safety of the person and/or the group.
We create our boat allocation based on people’s skills to ensure safety at all time.
