Want to try paddling in a dragon boat with us?

COVID Considerations

All paddlers must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Currently, wearing a mask is not required on the dock or while paddling, but is optional and an individual’s decision.

Any one new to paddling, at least 14 years old (minors accompanied by a guardian), may paddle with us for three ‘Provisional’ practices without cost. Please email the Golden Dragons Membership Director to arrange your first paddling date and assure the following steps are completed.

I. Each person paddling with us must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

2. Each person (or guardian in the case of a minor) must sign the Golden Dragons online waiver. Be sure to enter your email addr in the appropriate field.

3. Each person (or guardian in the case of a minor) must also sign the DragonSports USA, Inc. (DSUSA) waiver online here. Be sure to enter ‘Golden Dragons’ as the Team Name, and a little further down choose “Provisional” waiver type.

4. We have a paddler orientation every Wednesday that we require you to attend. Please contact the Membership Director, to arrange the date. At the Orientation, you will learn the fundamentals of paddling and the proper way to enter and exit the boat. You can also review extensive information on this website by clicking ‘Paddle’ in the above menu then ‘Learn’, ‘Safety’, and/or ‘Weather’. We ask that you show up at 8:30am for orientation. We supply life jackets and paddles. Dress for the outdoor weather and the possibility of wind and getting splashed. The first three sessions are free and then there are several options to join and/or pay. The one we hope you will choose is to join our club.  We look forward to meeting you on the dock.
