Why Dragon Boats?
Dragon Boating is a great teamsport on the water where 22 athletes have the same goal which is to show that a team can achieve much more than an individual. Rowing in the right pace with your friends and cooperation of the team beats the performance of the individual. The group success brings a great celebration and happiness after the training and the race.
If you are a bigger stag do than 10 persons, you can have several boats or one big boat.
