OK, let's see here. Rob begins with; >>The California BCU symposiums I've attended are entirely skill based and the most you can buy is a T Shirt. Well, actually I bought my surf drogue from Rowland Woolven who makes his by hand. Rowland Woolven, for those of you who may not know, is a 5 star BCU coach. Then Rob states; >> Anyway, it's not very big and I'm expected to use it on assessment day I had instructors in college who made buying the books THEY wrote for the class, which were tremendously over priced, AS WELL AS the recommended text book mandatory. Funny thing is we never seemed to actually need the book the instructor wrote for the class at all. This does nothing to improve my opinion of certification for sea kayakers. Scott So.Cal.
