Dragon Boat Open Practices

Please view the current practice schedule for information about dragon boat open practice times. Currently, there are two groups holding opening practices:
  • Morning Madness, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.
    Email Mary Minor for more information about Morning Madness.
  • Golden Dragons, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
    Email membership@goldendragonspdx.org for more information about Golden Dragons.

Meeting times for dragon boat open practices are typically about 10 minutes before the practice session(s) of your choice. Paddles and U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) are available in  the DSUSA lockers or you may bring your own.

Charges for participating in the dragon boat open practices are:
  • $2 per practice
  • $10 per month (with up to 3 practices per week)
  • $25 per quarter (with up to 3 practices per week)

First-time paddlers are entitled to three free practices to get a feel for the sport. No need to join DragonSports, just show up on the dock and sign a waiver. All paddlers must be at least 14 years old.
