JFD have a storied history in the Dragonboat world and we have competed all around the Southeastern US and the World. Our team is more family than just club; we have as much fun out of the boat as in it. And if you want a full-body workout but parts of you body don't... we have a workout for you.
Stay tuned for our upcoming events: Scenic Paddling Trips, Clinics for Steering and of course Dragon Boat Festivals and Races!

- We will provide water, but you may bring your water bottle or a sports drink
