First-time paddlers are entitled to one free practice to get a feel for the sport. No need to join the club, just show up on the dock and sign a waiver. All paddlers must be at least 14 years old.
 
Senior Citizens: The Monday Wednesday & Friday 9:00AM practices have drawn a large number of Seniors and others. Contact Debbi (503-452-7029) for more information. Practices continue the year around and provide the opportunity but no requirement to join race teams. Fun for all, and your first time out is FREE!
