“As a complete newbie to the sport I wasn't sure how to join an established team, but Malia made it easy. The Beginner Bootcamp program offered was an excellent introduction to the sport, and the entire team is friendly and welcoming. It didn't take long to feel like I was part of the team, and Liisa's coaching has me progressing quickly with my paddling form. Plus it's a ton of fun!”

“What an awesome club of fabulous people! I had always wanted to try dragon boat paddling, and after moving to Vermont last year I found Malia online.
