March 25th Update:
Registration is now closed as the team has reached capacity of 23 paddlers! We are now preparing registered paddlers for the first practice on May 3rd. Our 7th amazing season is starting soon and we can't wait!
We are very happy that coach Natalie Wong is returning to coach the team for a second season!!
NEW in 2018: The team will receive once-a-month video review, where quality video is taken out on the water for later review by both the coach and all paddlers. This is a great tool to becoming a better paddler.
The registration fee is $160 for this program
