dragon boat racing is like dragon racing, similar to horse racing (賽馬) :),
but the dragon is propelled by men...:)
paddling the dragon boat is like dancing on the river....(Chinese river dance?)
just listening to the beat coming off the drum....
it is sooo deep..... and soooo decisive...
it is a call to arm....
it is a call to row....
it is a call to fight....fight to win....
rowing....rowing...more rowing....
team work...team work....more team work....
it is such sooo beautiful amazing experience....
The most important skill in dragon boating is the stroke.
The paddling technique is rather simple, but to propel the boat with the power required in competitive racing needs
a constant effort and passion to refine the various elements of the stroke, and also to keep the same pace with your team.
paddling dragon looks awkward, it puts you in an unnatural position: paddling only uses one side of your body,
pulling the water rather than pushing it (as in other paddle sports such as kayaking),and keeping the stroke all up in front of you.
For racing events, dragon boats are always rigged with decorative Chinese dragon heads and tails and are required to carry a large drum aboard....
