Paddlesports North America, Inc. (PNA) was formed to deliver British Canoeing (formerly known as the British Canoe Union, or BCU) programming in North America. PNA is classified as a nonprofit educational public charity under section 501(c)3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. PNA is an Affiliate organization of British Canoeing and administrator of Personal Performance programming, as well as a Delivery Center for Coaching Qualifications in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our mission is to make British Canoeing training and education programs accessible to all in order to promote paddler development, emphasizing safety and stewardship of the environment. We aim to expand knowledge and awareness of all paddle sport-related activities, and encourage lifetime participation in the sport through delivery of a long-term paddler development program.

What’s new?

The PNA Board is excited to announce that we have finalized our relationship with British Canoeing as an Affiliate organization and administrator of Personal Performance programming, and as the Delivery Center for Coaching Qualifications in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

With the establishment of the PNA, we will:
• Develop, encourage, train and support coaches to deliver British Canoeing programs on this continent, as well as maintain records of achievement.
• Oversee the delivery of British Canoeing programs and assure high standards are maintained.
• Seek corporate and individual charitable donations to further our mission.

We are also excited to announce that Paddlesports North America (PNA) has been classified as an educational public charity under section 501(c)3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

We would like to thank our founding sponsors for their generous support, which covered the expenses incurred in establishing PNA- John Carmody of Sea Cliff Kayakers, Werner Paddles, P&H/Pyranha, Sea Kayaking UK, Valley Sea Kayaks and Atlantic Kayak Tours.
