Code of Conduct

Effective: March 27, 2025

RallyCrew is a global community built on trust, shared enthusiasm, and a deep love of whitewater. We ask that you help make this a space where everyone feels safe, welcome, and valued.

1. Be Kind

Treat others with respect, generosity, and empathy. Assume good intentions. Disagreement is natural—but bullying, hate speech, harassment, or exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated.

2. Tell the Truth

Be honest about your skill level, certifications, availability, and intentions. This helps other paddlers make safe, informed decisions and builds trust across the platform.

3. Keep It Inclusive

RallyCrew welcomes paddlers of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and boat types. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, or any form of discrimination has no place here.

4. Respect Boundaries

Not everyone is looking to paddle, message, lend gear, or host—and that’s okay. Clear communication is key. Always ask, don’t assume. Be mindful of people’s time, gear, and comfort levels.

5. Prioritize Safety

This is a high-risk sport. Be responsible. Don’t encourage others to paddle beyond their ability. Don’t misrepresent your own experience. Know that decisions made on the river carry real consequences—for you and for those around you.

6. You’re in Control

RallyCrew gives you tools to protect your experience:

  • You can choose whether your profile is public, private, or visible only to your friends.

  • You can block users at any time.

  • You can control who contacts you and how.

These features are here to help you manage your own boundaries. If someone makes you uncomfortable, use the tools provided. If someone threatens the well-being of the community, report them.

7. Keep RallyCrew Scam-Free

Don’t use the platform to mislead, sell fake gear, impersonate others, or defraud members in any way. If something feels off, report it. We take this seriously.

8. Give Back When You Can

Mentor a new paddler. Offer a shuttle. Say thanks. Our community is strongest when people show up for each other in big and small ways.

Violations

RallyCrew reserves the right to suspend or remove users who violate this Code of Conduct. We may also restrict access for users who repeatedly go against the spirit of the community—even if their actions don’t fall into a specific category.

Reporting

If you witness or experience behavior that violates this Code of Conduct, please let us know by emailing [email protected]. If you prefer to discuss your concerns over the phone, you can also request a call by email. All reports are confidential and taken seriously. RallyCrew is committed to fostering a positive and safe space for all paddlers.

We're Listening

This Code of Conduct is a living document. We’re learning and growing—just like the community it serves. If you have suggestions, ideas, or feedback on how we can improve it, we’d love to hear from you. Simply send an email to [email protected].

Thanks for helping make RallyCrew a place where everyone can feel welcome, supported, and excited to be part of the paddling community.
