Our annual membership is $65 for the CDBA racing team, or $45 for recreational paddling. The membership covers all of the equipment usage for the scheduled practices/events. What to expect: You will warm up for 10-15 minutes before getting into the boat and on the water for about 45-55 minutes. The focus of the water sessions is to develop and improve the techniques and of course having fun. What to bring: Drinking water and dress appropriately for the water and the weather. We provide paddles, life jackets and coaching. If it's your first time, please look for Dr. John Chen, club chairman/founder; Brian Tarle, club president; Kim Wong, team captain.
