Tacoma Dragon Boat Association

Tacoma Dragon Boat Association We've been paddling dragon boats in Tacoma since 2000 and invite you to join us and give it a try! Our members paddle for recreation or competition.

No experience necessary, we provide equipment and instruction. TDBA (Tacoma Dragon Boat Association) is a year round paddling club. TDBA members range in age from 18 to over 80, and come from a wide range of professions. TDBA is the home of the Destiny Dragons, named for the moniker by which Tacoma, Washington has been known for over 80 years, the City of Destiny. We moor at Johnny’s Dock Restaura

nt and Marina in the Thea Foss Waterway, a saltwater finger of Puget Sound. Our view from the water includes Mt. Rainier and the Cascade Mountain Range. To the northwest lay the Olympic Mountains. You have three free practices to decide if it's for you. Come paddle with us!
