has both dragon boat and outrigger competitive teams. Weather
permitting, members of these teams can be found on the water honing
their skills throughout the year. If competition isn't for you, the
recreational paddler can take advantage of the various opportunities to
practice without making a commitment to compete. Paddling is both fun and
a good workout. All paddlers are welcome to come to the Thursday night barbeques - just bring something to share!
Dragon Boating: In order to give everyone an opportunity to participate at a their own comfort level, dragon boat practices have been divided into three categories:
Outriggers: Outrigger practices have been divided into men's, women's and coed practices. Please note that the Monday evening practice is open to all who wish to paddle in an outrigger - novice or experienced.
Winter schedule: With natural light scarce during the winter months, the teams practice only on the weekends, usually starting at 9:30 Saturday and Sunday mornings. Winter practices tend to run short, usually an hour or so. |
