Check out the calendar for the schedule of free sixty minute refresher classes on weekends from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Season passes that include sailboats and kayaks are $230 with student, senior and military discounts available. You can also rent for $35 per hour. Don't sail. No worries. Take out a single or double kayak for $20 per hour. Standup paddle boards and windsurfers are also an option. Such a beautiful lake for water sports with great instructors in Seattle.

My beau discovered wakeboarding last year after a simple conversation during a lecture. Afterward,…read morehe decided to try it out to see what all the fuss was about. The first try was on Lake Sammamish on a ski boat with a generic wakeboard and velcro-closing, ill-fitting bindings. After a few attempts my beau got up and discovered a new-found love for wakeboarding. He went out several times with the same gentleman, but after the initial try with the generic board and bad bindings, he went out and purchased a Ronix board with Slingshot bindings. Even though the boat was not a wakeboard boat, he improved markedly and had even more fun. Fast forward a few months and my beau discovers Northwest Riders, who give lessons on Lake Washington. Not only was this more convenient (closer to home!), but NWR had a fully tricked-out wakeboard boat and an amazing instructor. Instructor Greg (hereafter known as WakeMaster G) took my beau's rudimentary basic knowledge of wakeboarding and not only solidified that but built on it so that I truly saw significant improvement each and every time we went out. This year brings the same great instruction and amazing improvements, to the point where my beau is now fine-tuning his riding skills and working on 180s. In the meantime, we have also introduced two friends to wakeboarding and due to Greg's phenomenal teaching skills, both are now loving the sport. We can't say enough about the top-notch instruction that Greg at Northwest Riders has given us. We're going out again this week and are already looking forward to it!

Background: we found the Seattle Flying Dragons group online after brainstorming what kind of fun…read moresummertime team building events were available. Felix and Fong were great to work with and were able to fit our group that kept varying in size (from 25 to 12 to 13 on the actual day). Note: They have multiple boats and also have volunteers and other team members that were training to help coach and possibly paddle if needed. So they are ready to accommodate any group size. Day of: parking was easy near the Kenmore Airport and free on the weekends! We easily found the Seattle Flying Dragons crew. They provided each person a life vest and bottle of water, and locked our personal belongings in their shed. We started with some on shore teaching about dragon boat history and the team's background. Then we got into the boat and learned some techniques close to shore. As we paddled (not rowed) our way into Lake Union, we were provided some more technical training and different types of drills. We were never asked to do more than we could physically but were challenged and encouraged. It was such a positive team building exercise. We went by the house boats and all the way to Gasworks before sprinting back to the starting dock. All in all, we felt accomplished and proud of what we could do in an hour. I highly encourage anyone to try this at least one. And no, you dont need to know how to swim. Even though at times we felt like we were about to capsize, it was all fine and safe. Costed: per the instructions on their website we donated $25 per person. They are a 501c3 so it is tax deductible - print the pdf receipt.

It was intimidating at first because I had never tried the sport before and my mind, at the time, was swirling with doubts & hesitations about meeting new people after hearing so much about the infamous "Seattle Freeze." However I knew I had to give it shot and see what dragon boating and, moreover, the seattle freeze were all about! I recall on my first day of practice, despite my uncertainties, I was immediately greeted by several paddlers who were thrilled to see a newbie and did not miss a beat to take me under their tutelage. The first day was tough, as with any new skill, however, it was amazing how fast one can pick up the "stroke" after only a few consistent paddling practices. Today, I can confidently say that I have met some of my closest friends through dragon boating, not to mention the lasting relationships that I have made with my teammates. It's really the people that make this sport so AWESOME! If you are contemplating about coming out to practice, I highly encourage you to give it a shot! You will find people of all ages, skill levels and personalities. Some are fair weather paddlers (folks who come out during the summer) while others are hardcore winter paddlers- the solitude that comes with being the only boat on the water is something that is totally worth the experience! There is usually plenty of parking in the main lot just outside of Kenmore Air. Do not park in the gravel lot directly adjacent to the terminal unless you check with whoever is leading practice that day. Usually that lot is available during the winter when Kenmore Air shuts down earlier due to the lack of sunlight. If you need to use the restrooms, go up (north) along the parking lot to the nearest Starbucks where you'll find restrooms in the main lobby of the AGC building. Paddles & lifejackets will be provided on site. Additionally, you will need to sign a waiver if it's your first time, minimum age is 12 (guardian signature required for paddlers between 12 & 17 years ago). If you are interested in competing, the majority of the races take place during the summer and into the fall, however, occasionally you'll find opportunities outside that time period. Check out the website for additional info. HAVE FUN! Practices: Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30pm Saturday mornings from 8-10am Sunday afternoons from 3-4:30pm
