Dragon Boating has long been a tradition of Hong Kong and the bgc
Stormy Dragons aspires to the challenges of the sport. Formed in only
2006 the ‘Stormy’s’, set up by experienced paddlers, is a club keen to
push themselves and their teammates to achieve the best of themselves.
The Club has had remarkable success since it’s inception, becoming one
of the leading Women’s teams in Hong Kong - a success that we hope to
follow with the Men’s and Mixed teams in the years to come.
But don’t think that this isn’t a club for you if you haven’t had any
paddling experience before, it’s success lies in welcoming all, from
all backgrounds and nationalities and with all skill levels, from the
humble beginner upwards. Everyone has something to bring to the table
and with the team’s support all will become better paddlers with the
benefit of team coaching in technique and stamina, and it’s a great
way to get fit at the same time!
Is there a point to all this you might ask, well as mentioned the
Women have had tremendous success as we look to compete in both
National and International competitions with our current international
circuit destination being Boracay, enjoyed and loved by all the crew
who head out there….
And there’s more – Not only are the Stormy Dragons one of the hottest
dragon boating teams in town, they party the hardest too! Hong Kong is
a land of work hard, play hard and the Stormy’s follow the same ethos.
As much as we strive to bring back the silver we aim to make sure we
have a great time doing it, giving all a chance to get to know others
and form new friendships as we aim for a common goal.
So what do you do now? Just come down to Tai Tam and give it a go, trust us you won’t regret it!
