Powell River Dragon Boat and Paddling Club
“Attention please! Paddles up!”
Twenty paddles poised, 20 paddlers in position, 20 breaths held in anticipation, focused on the shining path of water ahead…
Dragon boat racing is one of the fastest growing water sports in Canada. It provides the ultimate team participation, is available to men and women of all ages and is fun and challenging. The benefits include overall fitness (a full-body workout including core, legs, arms and cardio-vascular), a group of new friends and views of incredible scenery.
The Pearl Warriors Dragon Boat team began in Powell River with a group of enthusiasts in 2004 and has grown from there. We paddle on the beautiful Powell Lake. Dragon boating on the West Coast first appeared in Vancouver as a demonstration sport at Expo 86. Vancouverites liked it and interest started to grow. There are now teams up and down the coast and on Vancouver Island.
Silver Dragons The Powell River Senior Dragon Boat team originally formed in 2007 for one purpose – to compete in the B.C. Senior Games. A senior team came together again for the 2010 B.C. Senior Games.
