-The US ACA has a [[https://​cms.americancanoe.org/​Instructor-Statistics/​Listing|registry for looking up coaches]], but **as of 2026 there are few if any listed for Surfski **in the USA, which is something they are trying to develop. But we believe having a listing requires some kind of certification via the ACA. While there are already amply qualified (in terms of skill and knowledge) surfski coaches in the USA, our impression is that they haven'​t yet bought in to or seen the need for ACA certification. Given the newness of this effort that is understandable. But the program is also going to have to demonstrate its quality and worth if skilled surfski instructors are going to bother with the cost and time required for ACA certification. (For the time being the lookup function for surfski coaches really should not require that you designate a state - we really would like to see if there are any, anywhere currently certified in the USA without making the person seeking such information having to guess the correct state).+The US ACA has a [[https://​cms.americancanoe.org/​Instructor-Statistics/​Listing|registry for looking up coaches]], but **as of 2026 there are none listed for Surfski **in the USA, which is something they are trying to develop.
