dragon boating

Synchronized canoe racing

Dragon boating is a paddling sport in which teams race long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails.

The boats carry up to twenty paddlers who stroke in unison to a drummer's beat.

The sport originated in ancient Chinese festival traditions and has become a competitive event worldwide: Our office formed a dragon boating team for the corporate regatta.
