WHAT'S SO HOT ABOUT DRAGON BOATS?

Crews of 20 paddlers paced by a drummer and guided by a steersperson, combine power, rhythm and synchronization to race a 40' canoe over a 500-m. watercourse. Dragon boat racing, the ultimate team sport, rates high on the fun, fitness and friendship scales. It's visually spectacular and it also just plain "feels good" when you do it!
