Who is NASBLA

Who is NASBLA you ask…well they play a major role in modern day boating!

Lots of our students have asked who is NASBLA and what do they do?  The acronym stands for National Association of Boating Law Administrators.  They are the ones responsible for legal and educational requirements.  In that same vein, they keep the entire nation together with regards to laws and education.  In addition, they support each state helping to meet requirements and listen to the state’s educators and law enforcement agencies.  Above all, they are people like you and I who are great what they do.  All of the representatives that we have spoken with are all so very welcoming and passionate about boating.  Truly remarkable.
