What is Blind Ambition?

Blind Ambition PDX, Inc. is an Oregon recreational paddling club. We made our splash at the 2002 Portland Rose Festival as the first blind dragon boat team in America to compete equally with 80 other teams. Come watch us in action! We come from all walks of life. Some of us are teachers, doctors, councilors, housewives, students and massage therapists. The two things we all have in common are we are blind and we love paddling! Come and say hello, if there is room on our boat we might just take you for the ride of your life!

Mission Statement

To promote the abilities of the blind/visually impaired in a competitive environment through paddle sports.
