WHAT IS DRAGON BOAT RACING?
Dragon boat racing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and grows in popularity each year! Teams of 20 or 10 paddlers, a drummer, and a steersperson race in authentic Hong Kong-style dragon boats in this unique cultural event. All ages, skill levels, and physiques can paddle, making it the ultimate team building sport, requiring synchronicity and finesse, more than power, to win. People love it —the thrill, the teamwork, the adrenaline, the interaction in the boat.
