I like the friendships that are built. The kindness of others more experienced and the acceptance of everyone. And as an result, you work harder than you ever had and feel better about yourself.

The first time I was seated in a Dragonboat I felt like it was a living being, it had a pulse, a heartbeat. Over the years dragonboating has improved my fitness and taken me around the world racing. All across Canada, China, Malaysia, Italy & Hungary. It has also introduced me to many new friends both here and abroad.
