The Amazon Dragons Paddling Club is an organization which provides lesbians and queer women with camaraderie, fitness, and physical strength through competitive dragon boat racing. We convey positive lesbian and queer visibility through competition, personal integrity, community service and good sportsmanship.

The Castaways are a purely recreational team. You'll get a great workout without the hassles of required practices or too much competition. Fun first, exercise second, and winning whether or not we want. Offering "open" practices to all paddlers; $10 per month.

We are a dragon boat paddling team that like to play hard, train hard, and WIN BIG! We have a Champion mindset whether we win or lose.

We are women's dragon boat team committed to paddling together with a common goal - performing at our best individually and collectively on and off the water. Commitment is the structure and heart is the motive.

A decidedly expressive team, the Fire Breathing Blowfish are united by a love for competition, the harmonious sound of thrashing the water in unison, and a tendency toward inappropriate behavior at inopportune moments. Noisy, joyful, and proud of having become Portland's "THAT team" in our past 9 years of competition, we hope you'll all catch the Blowfish spirit and hoist a beverage, grind your neighbor, and join us in the battle cry, "We Breathe Fire!" over this wicked weekend of racy racing.

The Oregon Women Lawyers (OWLS) Dragonflies Dragon Boat Team traces its origins back to 1995, when students and professors from Lewis & Clark Law School formed the Scales of Justice dragon boat team to compete in the Portland-Kaohsiung Sister City Association Rose Festival Dragon Boat Races. From there, in 1999, several female alums (now attorneys) organized under the sponsorship of Oregon Women Lawyers and recruited their friends and colleagues as benchmates to form the OWLS Dragonflies as it exists today.

Pink Phoenix is the United States' first dragon boat team comprised solely of survivors of breast cancer. Our mission is to empower survivors through the sport, and we find strength and power via the shared experience that remains the only requirement to join the team.
