I cant wait until the little green men come down and ask to see our role models, I'll know just where to point them for perfect boat operator.

No one is perfect, but if a captain is afraid of people near the boat while underway, that captain is not safe.
I see it all the time when I'm near a dock, people afraid of hitting something, gunning their boat so they won't hit it. An absolutely wrong, but prevalent reaction.... a dangerous reaction.
Seriously, if anyone is afraid or worried about hitting a paddle boarder near their boat, they need some training on how to operate the boat. Give the coast guard auxiliary a call, or a local marina, or someone who knows how to operate a boat to give lessons. It's not that hard, but it just doesn't happen, you need to practice it.
