@Bruce_Butterfield Yeah, I may have blanked out there on my reasoning. My bad. You are correct with the public records for people who have offended, that didn't seem to cross my mind. I do then however agree with background checks for any coach or higher up at a tourny. Not that we would have to worry all to much since a lot of them are well known in said niche, but y'know. I do apologize for my blanking in reasoning earlier today, was eating lunch. :# <3

@Jody_Seal I feel as if a background check should be required if they are looking after the protection of minors. I don't see why the background check is a problem, especially when you don't have to do much for the background check to be performed, it's mostly on their end.

I honestly think that SafeSport training may be a pain for some to do, but it's free, and it's to ensure the safety of the youths in the sport. All in all, in the long run it will probably do more good than harm, and isn't something that should make you quit the tournaments..

Air is around 80 degrees Farenheit, water was 76 or so a week and a half ago. Land O' Lakes Fl. I've been skiing without a wetsuit. My first set of the year was around january 8th, with a wetsuit of course.
