A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to paddle and celebrate the season. There’s no better way to spend the holidays than on the water!
Happy Holidays!🎄

It’s a very sad day in Red Dragons history. We are suffering the loss of a former team mate Richard Yudin. Richard and Charisse Yudin came to Red Dragons around 2015 as a gift from Will Murphy and Blazing Paddles. Richard and Charisse were two of Red Dragons premier teammates. Richard steered and paddled for many RD practices and venues. He participated in several local and out of town races where in typical RD fashion we medaled. For the more senior Red Dragons I’m sure they all will remember Richard in our hearts and minds. He is the third senior male paddler we’ve lost in the most recent years. Tom Torres and Gordon Wright were also amazing teammates who we lost too soon. Not to forget as well Catherine Duma one if our biggest supporters. From all of the red dragons members past and present know that once you’re in the RD family you’re a member forever. May GOD bless Charisse and may she find closure in this loss to all of us. Rest in peace Richard. You will be sorely missed.

Clay Barrett and Dennis Yu on behalf of Red Dragons Miami DBRT.
