About the team: Wave Cutters launched in 2023 as VI Paddling’s learn-to-race dragon boat program for the Comox Valley and so many of the paddlers who signed up enjoyed themselves so much that this team is now a full-time recreational team with the club! This team is great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike, and are looking forward to a full year ahead. Sign up on VI Paddling’s Mindbody page here
