Dragon boat racing is basically a 16 man/women boat which 14 people paddle ( either left or right side ) sitting next to each other. The goal is to compete against other teams in races of 250, 500 & 1000 Meter races.
   The boat are made of wood. There is a drummer in the front and a some in the back to guide the boat strait..   As any other sport there is allot of technique evolved, not to mention stamina & power.
   Ahhh yes.. and did I mention it's mainly an Asian sport?

SOCIAL ASPECT: Groups of people from High School, College and the Corporate community all take part in this activity. Building a friendship and a strong boat is key.

WORK OUT: Arms, Back, legs, shoulder, and everything else is hurting after a paddle. Stamina and muscle is built though out the year to get that long, heavy boat moving quickly in the water.

ACCOMPLISHMENT: Some of us look forward to wining medals at a race, but allot of us try to work hard so we push our bodies farther then we thought we could. That is my major accomplishment.

ATMOSPHERE: There's nothing like taking a boat out on the water early morning, with the sun just rising up or at night with the calm water and sun setting then the moon and stars out. Even though your paddling hard it's still a really nice get away for a few hours.
