Re: [Paddlewise] Leader Requirements

Just for reference:

In Western Sea Kayakers (BASK south bay sister club) anyone who learns
the paper work can lead a trip. However, the trip has to be announced
several weeks before in the club's newsletter. That gives ample time
for more experience people to advise in favor or against the trip or
join to colead the trip.

I have been trying to get people to join me in my regular roll/rescue
sessions, but for some reason that kind of practice is very unpopular.
What does it take to convice people of the need to enphasize on 
building skills?
