Our goal is to provide expert coaching and instruction for small boat paddling, provide a training area on local waters and to organize competitive race events
in the Greater Charlotte Harbor area and beyond.
Small human power boats are becoming ever-more popular. Kayaks and canoes can be found on all of our local waters. People enjoy their versatility and paddling as a physical fitness activity.
It seems to be human nature to sometimes pit one boat against another in a race. In fact, there are now organized paddling clubs springing up around the country.
Local, regional, national and, yes, international races are being held.
