About Dragon Boating:
Dragon boating originated more than 2000 years ago in China. Unlike rowing, dragon boaters sit in two rows facing forward and use use paddles to propel the long, narrow canoe-like boat. Often, a drummer sits at the front of the boat and a steersperson navigates the back of the boat. For competitions and special occasions, a carved dragon head and tail are added to the boat.
