Curious about dragon boat racing? Here’s
some useful information. Read on to start YOUR dragon boat journey. [ONLY
5-second read]
Newbies always wonder, “WHAT is a dragon boat?” We have
your answer:
A dragon boat is a massive racing canoe. During races,
they’re adorned with dragon head and tail decorations.
Dragon boats seat a crew of 20 paddlers, a steersperson,
and a drummer. There are also smaller boats that seat 10 paddlers. That’s a lot
of people, right?
You see, the boats are large and heavy on purpose.
Because the goal of dragon boat racing is synchronization. The paddlers
need to stroke together in unison to propel the boat down the racecourse.
If everyone is paddling in time, this action feels
effortless. The boat FLIES through the water…
…making you feel POWERFUL and ALIVE.
This feeling is amazing. You MUST try it.
