Typical hazards & measures
Cold water temperature
— Provide wetsuits or drysuits based on water temperature. Limit session duration in cold water and offer warm-up breaks. Train participants on hypothermia prevention and provide immediate access to warm, dry environments post-session.
Inconsistent training instructions
— Implement standardized training protocols across all instructors. Conduct regular reviews and refresher courses to ensure consistency in teaching. Monitor sessions for adherence to standards, making adjustments where necessary to maintain clarity.
Equipment entanglement
— Train participants on proper rigging and handling of sails and lines. Inspect rigging before sessions and ensure all lines are secure. In case of entanglement, provide instruction on how to safely disentangle and avoid future issues.
Lack of familiarity with equipment
— Provide thorough, step-by-step instruction on all equipment before entering the water. Allow practice time onshore to ensure participants are comfortable. Gradually introduce advanced equipment as skills progress, matching gear to ability levels.
Carrying equipment
— Train participants on the proper techniques for carrying boards, sails, and other equipment to prevent strain or injury. Use trolleys or team-lifting methods for heavier items. Ensure pathways are clear of obstacles, and provide protective covers for sharp edges.
