Our story…

Herricane Winds - Celebrating our Silver Season!


Established in 2001 by a group of energetic teachers interested in trying something new, Herricane Winds has grown into a force to be reckoned with - both on the water and in fundraising! 


We enter our 25th season of paddling with an “attitude of gratitude!” We are thrilled to celebrate our colleagues, friends, and family, numbering more than 75, who have been in the boat with us over the years; paddlers, steers, drummers, and our wonderful coaches - and we are also grateful for YOU, our amazing supporters!! Your generosity has helped us raise funds to support kids and families in our community for the past 25 years!


For our 25th, we are looking forward to another exciting season committed to fun, fitness, and fundraising, along with some Silver Season Celebrating!


Thank you for your support!!! We wouldn’t still be here without all of you! 


Here’s to another great year on the water!

Paddles UP!!! Take it Away!!!


With Appreciation,

Herricane Winds
