What’s Up With The Paddle Sports Industry?
It’s no surprise that businesses in the paddle sports space have been under tremendous financial stress in the last couple years. This session looks at industry trends and explores strategies that could help bring new growth to paddle sports.

The Whitewater Symposium seeks to advance the spirit of whitewater paddling through bringing leaders of the sport together. Our focus is on generating new ideas to support the future of whitewater among those who are genuinely passionate about it. Collectively, we have the greatest potential to influence its future.

The Whitewater Symposium program seeks to involve all those who actively love whitewater sport. This includes intermediate paddlers who want a deeper appreciation for paddlesport. The Symposium also supports the grassroots feeder programs that encourage new and continued participation, empowering more people to take on productive roles in stewarding whitewater paddling development.
