- We welcome participants of all experience levels, offering a supportive environment to develop paddling skills and advance competitively.
- We strike a balance between an inclusive, encouraging atmosphere and the structure needed for training sessions and race performance, blending the thrill of paddling with the drive for competition.
- We have an excellent central East Bay location and practice on the sometimes challenging – but mostly calm – waters of the Oakland/Alameda Estuary. We race locally and travel to 250 meter sprints, 500 meter regattas and even 1000 meter endurance races. The race season runs from March to November, and our practice schedule is all year long.
