Blazing Paddles Mixed Team

Blazing Paddles 2.0 was created from the very successful Try It Day in 2024. A team of brand new paddlers and a sprinkling of Sonar Dragons that wanted a second night of paddling had a great first season together and kept the team connected overwinter by having a regular book (ahem, wine) club. We practice as a Mixed team but currently compete as a Women's team. 

With two-thirds of the paddlers from '24 returning for '25 we have again successfully recruited a great group of people from Try It Day. This year, we are looking to complete at three festivals - Salmon Arm (supported by Dragonflies), Kelowna and Penticton in September.

A previous club used to exist with the name Blazing Paddles, and it was a complete fluke that this new team chose the same name!
