Come and try paddling!
We'd love to have you come try paddling with us! We accept paddlers of all levels, beginner to elite.
We know that it can take a few goes to see if you want to become a Sloth, so there's no obligation, just come and try. If you are new to dragon boating, you'll get your first 4 weeks of training and racing for free.

Both options include the first 28 days of training and racing for free.
