False Creek Masters
Dragon Boat Program
Interested to see what it is like to paddle on a competitive dragon boat team?
You are invited to two free paddle sessions with the Masters team during a regular team practice. Bring your own paddle, PFD and paddling gear, or borrow a paddle and PFD from the team. We start with a land warm up, a half hour prior to the practice start, near the community center and the tennis courts on Granville Island.
Then we head out from the Alder Bay docks into False Creek for a paddle with coaching. We would love to have you come with us so just click on the contact us and send a request via email to falsecreekmasters@gmail.com requesting your two free paddling sessions. We paddle Sunday morning 10-11:30 am and Monday and Thursday evening 7:30-9 pm. See you soon!
