Hi everyone,
We're down a couple of our last year's guys so are looking to find a few more guys to balance things.
Paddlers of the Fifth Moon is a strong rec crew (missed gold in Diamond last year at Victoria by 0.01sec, how do you even measure that?!), we train out of the Gorge Rowing and Paddling Centre at 7-8:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays from April to August.
Our standard 4 festivals are the Gorge Sprints, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island and Victoria but there is also the opportunity to race at other festivals in mixed crews we set up.
We're looking for fun, fit, enthusiastic and reliable people to complement our roster. We have a great group, no drama and we're heading into our 10th season. We're looking to improve on last year's strong season so are hoping to balance out the male roster spots. No experience needed, paddling technique can be taught, attitude can't. At the moment we don't have any female roster spots but that could change leading up to the start of the season so we do have a waitlist for girls too.
We train equally on both sides with a strong focus on technique and injury prevention. The coach has a special interest in exercise physiology and has taken numerous dragon boat coaching courses in addition to NCCP Level A&B and BCRPA Fitness Theory.
We also have other cross-training opportunities, outrigger is available and we have a run group also for anyone interested.
If you're interested or would like more info, please shoot me an e-mail at
