Ballina Dragon Boat Racing Club

Dragon Boating is a fast and furious, paddle driven water sport that originated in China over 2000 years ago. Modern day dragon boating is a team sport in its purest form. It encompasses the elements of power, speed, synchronisation and endurance. Standard teams consist of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a sweep (steerer). A fully loaded 12 metre boat, weighing 250kg, can weigh almost two tonnes! Over 50 million paddlers participate annually in competitions across the globe and Australia competes strongly on the international stage. If you're looking for your next challenge in a sport that is so much fun, come along to one of our training sessions to see what it's all about. https://www.ballinadragons.net/about/
