Blazing Paddles aka FLCT's Blazing Paddles, is a very diverse group of people that enjoy dragon boat racing as well as canoeing and kayaking. We train hard, but have fun, on and off the water. The team has an enviable record, and is the reigning champion of several paddling titles. We have members in their early 20s and those in their early 70s and every age in between. We include students, lawyers, scientists, corporate workers, a music composer, kayak guide, accountant -- you get the idea. Most of our members had no paddling experience when they joined. We can teach you all you need to know and help you get into great shape. It's a great workout for core, cardio and all-around fitness. We are actively recruiting new members. In addition to our Saturday practices, we paddle on Monday and Thursday evenings. The team also goes on excursions to paddle, cycle or just have fun.

New Greeting for“Tanya, I hope you had a good time. Don't be discouraged if it was hard. EVERYONE finds it hard when they are first learning. Make it to 3 practices and I guarantee you'll find it is getting easier and more comfortable. Will”posted by Will

New Greeting for“Fran, Welcome to Blazing Paddles! We are paddling tonight at 7pm at Holland Park. If you'd like to come try it out, please come out. All you need are clothes that can get wet. (You are very unlikely to get soaked, but likely to get splashed a little) and some drinking water or a sports drink. Feel free to contact me for directions or other information. Will”posted by Will

New Greeting for“Hi, Tanya. All you need for one of our practices is water or a sports drink (bring at least 24 oz, it's a workout), clothes that can get wet (you are unlikely to get soaked but likely to get splashed a bit), sunscreen/hat and a good attitude. You may want to bring a change of clothes if you come on a Saturday since many of the members of the team go for a casual lunch together afterwards, but that's totally up to you. I hope to see you in the boat soon! Will”posted by Will
