COME TRY IT FOR A DONATION WITHOUT OBLIGATION!!!

Blazing Paddles is a coed paddling team started by Captain Will Murphy in 2000. We have paddlers from Miami to Port St. Lucie. We compete in dragon boat, canoe and other water sports, and members participate in all manner of outdoor adventures. No experience necessary. Just a good attitude, clothes and shoes that can get wet and at least 20 ounces of water or a sports drink in a plastic bottle.

Please note that the meet up lasts between 1 and 1 1/2 hours on the water, plus time to launch, rinse and store the boat. If you have to be back at a certain time, please let us know beforehand,

Note that weather, races and other factors sometimes lead us to change the schedule so *PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE YOU COME. ALSO SEATS ARE LIMITED SO PLEASE TRY TO SHOW UP IF YOU RSVP. *HAVE FUN AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE DRAGON BOAT

Please don't assume others are not coming because you don't see them signed up here. Members use other means to sign up for practices. Please call before coming to confirm practice is on.

For each of your first three practices -- recommended minimum donation is $10 (to SOAR, the 501c3 charity that owns the boats).

If you decide you want to join, we will send you the paperwork. Annual dues are $300 but substantial discounts are available for early payment, and many members get credits over the course of the year for helping out. No one is turned away for economic reasons.
