Bring a bottle of water, a hat and sun screen for yourself, we will provide you a paddle and a PFD (personal flotation device) to paddle in.
Come on out and make some great new friends! The experience of team spirit and the fun on the water are amazing and priceless, come join us today!

Here's a sights-n-sounds video from a race festival the Gilas attended back in 2022 in Reno, NV. It gives you more of flavor of what the Gilas do as a competitive Dragon Boat racing club. As you get more involved, there will be opportunities to travel the world with the Gilas as we go to where the action is at! We have gone to San Diego, Montana, Portland, Boston, Austin, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and as far away as Boracai Philipines, and Hong-Kong!
