This exciting sport, now one of the fastest growing in the U.S., has attracted visiting teams from throughout the Northwest to Salem for the World Beat Race. The number of participating teams has grown to our current maximum of 32. Salem teams caught the spirit of friendly competition that draws so many to the sport early on and now we can practice year-round on the water. Contact us to find out more.

World Beat Dragon Boat Club Teams
Angry Unicorns
AU: We're Golden
Paddle Like You Stole It!
The Angry Unicorns is a competetive women's team, that occasionally welcomes men for a practice paddle during the off season.
According to the team bio: "There is something very demented about the idea of an angry unicorn. Our team is made up of very demented people. Demented people who like to paddle and wear horns."
