Special Report on Paddlesports - Video

Near the end 2019, we were pleased to present the 2019 Special Report on Paddlesports & Safety. The heart of the project focused upon the collection and distribution of the comprehensive, qualitative, and statistical data summarized by the Paddlesports Report, which was administered by Outdoor Industry Association and the Outdoor Foundation. The final report includes paddlesport participation data, demographic data, and participant behavioral insights and trends. In addition, a section in the report analyzes paddlesport fatality and accident statistics. The report includes data on the following paddlesport activities: kayaking, canoeing, rafting, and stand up paddleboarding.

We are also proud to share a video presentation accompaniment, which follows the progression of the report document while showing some engaging video footage.
