Doug, why do you say that ACA will be the dominant system? True, there are currently more ACA venues than BCU in the US, but BCU is extending. I don't foresee one system or the other becoming dominant. Some people paddle feathered, some unfeathered; some people use euro paddles, some traditional; some people develop their skills under ACA tutelage, some under BCU. They can all be good paddlers or terrible paddlers., depending on what they bring to it and what they take from it.
