The K38 International PWC Safety Summit is a gathering of administrative professionals, recreational enthusiast, and educators involved in boating safety, specific to the use of Personal Watercraft (PWC) or Rescue Water Craft (RWC).
The Summit was created to bring these groups and individuals together to share ideas, address rules & regulations, national education standards, advancing the technology & application, and issues in the line up (tow-surfing). The Summit focuses on the K38 Way of Training techniques and standards derived from personal experiences to further enhance the development and the applicable use (properly) of these unique small vessels.
K38 Water Safety is celebrating 20 years of PWC Education in 2009. This year the Summit theme is on 'Event Leadership and Management'. Attendees will participate in training elements that prepare students and instructors for managing water events utilizing Personal Watercraft (moto d' aqua, aquabikes, or RWC's). The international community of PWC enthusiasts, competitors, vendors and staffing creates the perfect environment for blending all the needs of water security, safety, officiating and management concerns under a myriad of diverse environmental stresssors.
