Okanagan Dragon Boat Racing Club

🌅🐉 PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE.

Thursday night on Okanagan Lake — and for the second day in a row, we finally had clear skies and clean air. After being sidelined by wildfire smoke, we weren’t wasting this one.

Boat loaded. Paddles in. Sunset ahead. Time to work. 💪🐉

Tonight wasn’t about trying to muscle the boat down the lake. It was about getting the little things right.

Simple mechanics.
Clean movement.
Better timing.
Better connection.
Better delivery.

Because when the mechanics improve and the boat starts moving together, strength and speed will always follow. ⚡️

Great work tonight, everyone. There’s something pretty damn special about training on Okanagan Lake with a crew beside you, mountains in the distance, and the sun dropping over the water. 🌊☀️

One practice at a time.
One stroke at a time.
Keep getting better.

Saturday practice on Okanagan Lake did not disappoint. ☀️🚣‍♀️🐉

Another beautiful day in Kelowna, BC with calm water, sunshine, mountain views, and a boat full of smiling paddlers. Honestly… not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

It was great to see everyone back on the water as we roll into our regular season with Dragonfire, Flowriders, and Paddleholics all getting moving again. The energy is building, the timing is coming together, and the club is already starting to feel alive for another amazing season.

These early practices are where we shake off the rust, reconnect as teammates, welcome new faces, and remember why we love this sport so much.

And yes… the lake was showing off a little. We’re not mad about it. 🌊😎

Interested in trying dragon boating?
Come join us for a weekend practice! No experience needed — just bring a good attitude, a willingness to learn, and maybe a tiny bit of courage to step into the boat for the first time.

We’ll teach you the basics, introduce you to the crew, and get you paddling with one of the friendliest clubs in the Okanagan.

Come for the lake views.
Stay for the team.
Fall in love with the sport. 🐉💪

🌊 Another Beautiful Weekend on the Water! 🐉☀️

Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and Sunday at 12:00 p.m., Okanagan Dragon Boat Racing Club was back out on the lake for another awesome weekend of paddling.

And honestly… the Okanagan showed off. 😎

Calm water, sunshine, great energy, and another strong turnout from our club members made for two fantastic practices. Our paddlers are getting sharper every week, the timing is coming together, and the boats are starting to feel stronger with every stroke.

This season is already building into something special.

We have three teams looking strong this year, and even better, we’re coming together as one big club — supporting each other, learning together, laughing together, and putting in the work on one of the most beautiful lakes around.

Whether you’re brand new, returning after some time away, or curious about trying something different, this is a great time to come out and give dragon boating a try.

No experience? No problem.
Nervous? Totally normal.
Want to meet great people, get active, and spend time on the water? Perfect. That’s exactly what we do. 🙌

Come paddle with us. The boat is better when it’s full.
