For Guests and New Members

New to dragon boating? You can join up to three practices for free before deciding whether to become a member.

Before getting on the boat, all participants must sign the required waiver through DragonSports. Select "Portland Fire" in the team name list.

DragonSports Membership and Waiver

During the trial period, participants may join as provisional members and can practice up to three times without paying. After officially joining, each member must pay a one-time $40 fee to become a lifetime member of the DragonSports organization.

All participants are responsible for completing the required registration, signing the waiver, and reading and understanding the applicable safety information.
