What we’re about
You’re invited to try dragon boating, a team canoeing sport for fun and or competition. Adaptive Fusion is a very diverse group of people, some with challenges and some without. We are currently practicing on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 AM to 11 AM, and would love to have you join us.
We provide personal flotation devices (pfds) and paddles and show you the basic strokes. Then we get on the water and have some fun!. Don’t worry, the plan is always to stay on top of the water, although you may get your feet wet when loading the boat. All fitness levels welcome.
Our mission is to promote Paradragon paddling and to race at the highest levels of competition. Some of our members just competed at the 17th World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Germany. Our next local race will be at Santa Fe Dam on October 4th. Come out and see if you love this sport as much as we do, and if you practice a few times, and with the coach's approval, maybe you will be racing too!
It is important to RSVP before you come out so we can make sure we have room and so we can balance the boat. Please contact Mary at (770) 778-8154 (Long Beach, CA) or email us at adaptivefusion@gmail.com
