In 1996 a handful of paddlers came together with the vision to build an organization to foster the growth and
development of dragon boating in the San Francisco Bay Area. Each had
little experience in starting up a non-profit organization most were
relatively new to the sport themselves. With only commitment and their
faith in dragon boating becoming a great activity for the community they
moved forward to promote a sport people knew little about in an area
already saturated with team sports. |

We are dragon boat club out of Las Vegas Nevada which consists of four teams within our club...Desert Dragons, Dragon Ass, Makin Waves and Bosom Buddies (three are women's and one mixed team). We compete throughout the year in as many races as we can. When not on the water we participate in as many charity events as we can and also volunteer with such organizations as the Las Vegas Mission to help feed our community’s homeless population, Three Square where we help fill backpacks with food for our valley students and try to give back to the community in other ways. We always give 150% on the water and off the water. As our Coach always reiterates to us ….. “We are a class act on and off the water!” Our teams work together to better ourselves, our teams, and most importantly our community! This harmony of purpose can only be achieved through many hours of training on the boat, learning to be a complete crew and developing the team spirit and understanding - necessary to work together, as one unit, for the common good. |

We share a common passion for the sport, desire to see the team continue to improve and an interest to promote dragon boat racing.

Seattle Flying Dragon Boat ClubMember since:
January 01, 2009
|
The Seattle Flying Dragons are folks who enjoy getting out on Lake Union
to paddle. For those unfamiliar with the sport, dragon boating is a
boat of 20 paddlers, a drummer, and a steersperson paddling to cross the
finish line faster than their competition. It's a team sport in its
purest form that encompasses the elements of power, speed,
synchronization, and endurance. The appeal of dragon boating is that the sport can accommodate a wide spectrum of skill levels ranging from novice to competitive. It’s also a low-impact, full body workout for people of any experience level. Not to mention that it's lots of fun! We can make a paddler out of anyone - it's all about time on the water. We paddle year round on Lake Union, gathering four times a week in the parking lot of the Kenmore Air Terminal at the south end of Lake Union: 950 Westlake Avenue N. Newcomers welcome! See our Practices page for more info. |
