Newbies are welcomed--encouraged, in fact (although we'll welcome your athleticism and competitive spirit).
And the Fire Dragons are a team on and off the water. We've been known to lift a pint or two together,
dominate the Hood to Coast relay run (okay, finish respectably), and generally hang out when we can.
Maybe you've seen us on the water and thought it looked like fun.
Or maybe you just, you know,
want to collect some serious bling.
What are you waiting for?

| In the Chinese zodiac, the Fire Dragon is one of five types of dragons: earth, fire, wood, water and metal. The Fire Dragon, or Huo Long, is the most extroverted and competitive dragon. It holds purifying and healing powers and is said to have the ability to arouse massive popular support. | |
| With the spirit of the Fire Dragon in mind, the Portland Fire Dragons launch our sixth year as a team. Bringing together people of various backgrounds and ages, we embrace the spirit of community found in dragon boat cultures worldwide. We practice year-round in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon, and welcome new paddlers (experienced or not) to come to open tryouts almost any time of year. Steve Pietila, coach | |
