DragonSports is going to be conducting joint introductory steer training for the outrigger canoes and dragon boats. We'll be doing a classroom portion, which is the first step in learning to steer, at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, August 9th. The class should last about an hour and a half.
 
The class will be at PBS Environmental + Engineering, at 4343 SW Corbett, Portland, OR.
 
The materials for this class are available FREE online at our website; you will need to print them and bring them with you to the classroom.
 
Outrigger handbook is here. 
Dragon Boat handbook is here.
 
Please email Burton at steering@dragonsports.org to RSVP your attendance and/or if you have any questions.  Please include your team name and if you're interested in dragon boat steering, outrigger steering, or both.

We look forward to training you and getting everyone on the water! ​
