We invite you to join Vancouver’s MOST
FUN dragon boat team
for a season of fun on and off the water.
We have an enthusiastic and dedicated core of veteran paddlers
and welcome new paddlers.
We will give you a season
full of festivals on and off the water
Choose one race or more:
(Burnaby, RTA regatta, RTA Festival, Vernon, Vancouver Taiwanese,
UBC Longboat, Ft. Langley + more as team decides.
We have also raced in Kent WA, Portand OR,
Victoria BC, Kelowna BC)
We emphasize fun, and we bring a good commitment to our practices to always improve.
We share a love for dragon boat paddling and the community, and have
inspired people to start their own teams, and also paddle competitively.
Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dragon Boat team is an Adult Recreational Team. We
practice out of Dragon Zone on Tuesday nights and Sunday mornings.
It is a full body work out and is very low impact.
Our coach is Todd Wong, a leader in the
dragon boat community and Vancouver.
Todd has taken coaching clinics for dragon boats,
NCCP training (National Coaching Certification Program),
plus studied sports psychology.
Other supplementary exercise activities enhance our season. We hike up
the Grouse Grind, we snow shoe, we paddle marathon canoe.
We are planning bike rides, roller blades and ice skating too!.
Our paddlers love to emphasize carbohydrate replenishment after a practice.
Aside from nourishing our bodies, it also nourishes our soul. It
will strengthen the bonds among the paddles. It will make us stronger and
powerful when we hit the water.
We are recruiting paddlers of all levels. All equipment is supplied and
instruction will be provided by our experience coaches.
Swimming ability is not an issue - as PFD's are provided.
We hope to fill two boats for the 09 season and the seats are going fast.
Boat to boat races
during practice are the BEST!
Our first practice will be on February 22 at 11am.
