Frequently Asked Questions

🐉 So… What is Dragon Boat?

Dragon Boat racing is a thrilling team water sport with over 2,000 years of Chinese tradition. It’s all about power, precision, and paddling in perfect unison. One sleek boat, a crew of paddlers moving as one, drums beating, water flying—it’s fast, fierce, and full of energy 🌊

🚩 Is this just… rowing?

Nope. Paddling ≠ rowing. It’s a different beast. New mechanics, new boat vibes, new muscle flex. Think TikTok vs. PowerPoint—both valid, but one hits different 💅

🫠 I’ve never paddled. Is that bad?

Not at all. No experience? No stress. Whether you’re 18, 45, or simply enjoying life, we welcome everyone—no exceptions. Blind, deaf, or anywhere in between, our inclusive community makes sure everyone joins the fun. From your first basic stroke to full-speed racing, we’ll teach you everything you need 🛶

🏋️ Is it actually a workout?

Absolutely. Dragon boating is a full-body powerhouse—intense on your muscles, uplifting for your spirit. It’s where cardio meets teamwork, pushing your limits while bringing a sense of connection and flow. Get ready to fall in love with your new favorite fitness challenge. Welcome to your new obsession 🧘

👀 Do I need gear?

Beach mode activated—water shorts, flip-flops or Crocs. Toss in sunscreen, shades, and a hat. We’ve got the boat, the paddles, and the hype. No dragon needed—though bringing one would be lowkey legendary 🐉

💦 Will I get wet?

Well… you are on a boat with paddles, so probably yes! Splash zone vibes are all part of the excitement—water flying everywhere and maybe even an unexpected splash to the face during the race. Come ready to get wet, and leave feeling refreshed 🐠
