I have been paddling for 5 years. Q) what got you hooked on dragon boating ? Being part of a great team who are supportive, kind and fun. Q) what’s your favourite thing about it ? Gliding along the river, sitting with different members on the boat and getting to know them more. Q) what is your biggest achievement? My most amazing day of awe and wonder was the Vogalonga 4 years ago. Q) any advice for someone who is thinking of taking up the sport?
