The Sea Cucumbers is a mixed-nationality, competitive dragon boat team based in Discovery Bay, HK. Balance of the boat. TEAM SPIRIT - We give 110%.
Sea Cucumbers Dragon Boat Team Mission Statement
The Sea Cucumbers Dragon Boat Team is a competitive team. We are a highly motivated team who also believes in celebrating our success with as much passion as we train. If you join our team, there is the expectation that you will attend at least one boat training session per week as well as maintain your own fitness regime. We will provide support f
or development of both your fitness and your technical stroke. Besides having fun, making friends, exercising our butts off, and working together to beat the living daylights out of the competition, we are here to develop and perform at our highest levels. We come from all walks of life, all ages and from various backgrounds. As such, we each have distinct (and for some, crazy) personalities. Even so, we treat each other as equals and celebrate our unique strengths. Come race day, it is our policy to put our fastest boat on the water as possible. Seats will be awarded to paddlers based on the following priorities:
Race day rules are adhered to i.e., minimum numbers of male/female paddlers are seated first so as to meet the rules of the day. This includes but is not limited to any ban imposed by the organiser of an event against paddlers competing in consecutive races. Once minimums have been met, the remainder of seats shall be filled to maximise our balance and power. Whereby balance is determined by a paddler's weight, skill, power, reach and position in the boat. With all things being equal, priority shall be given to those paddlers with a proven record of practice attendance and commitment to the team. The Sea Cucumber Team is always striving to better ourselves as athletes while contributing to team unity and excellence. We do so by adhering to the following values:
SPORTSMANSHIP - We compete to win, but in the process, we play fair and display courtesy. We are only as strong as our weakest link - we paddle together and learn that together we are more than the sum of our individual strengths. RESPECT - We appreciate and maintain high regard for one another. The front of the boat, the engine room, the back of the boat, the drummer, the steersman, the captain, the coach…everyone counts, everyone matters. OUTRAGEOUSNESS - We laugh, poke fun, socialise and we do so together, reveling in our friendship. GUTS - We brave the rough currents, wind, rain and the cold and hot temperatures because nothing will stop us from training our bodies and our minds (except for lightning, of course!)

GUESS WHAT? WE’RE 1/2 WAY THERE!
TKO officially marked our season half way point. To say the waters brought an uphill battle would be an understatement.
Despite the battles, every stroke brought new knowledge into our nation than ever before.
With saying that, did we get the results we hoped? NO! But, that doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate our nation’s wins;
5.37 secs off Heat 1! 🎉
Thank you to the team that represented Cuke Nation at TKO. No matter where our nation may be, you made every Cuke proud! 💚

In the last edition of this year’s Stanley series we came back with the 2nd best prize on offer!
Shoutout to our MVP, ZOE!
Taking home the hardware as a nod to her constant team-player drive! 👏🩵
This season we have been honored, taking home 2/3 Stanley trophies. The most recent being achieved by the ‘Summer Skeleton Crew’ who left their blood, sweat and tears in the Stanley waters! But, our crew on the ground could not achieve their greatness without Cuke Nation support around the world. 💚
A big shoutout to our sponsors who make our Stanley dreams come true 💓

Back at it in the Eastern District
Paddles were hot; to add to this plot, the Cukes, oh they fought!!
not to mention 50-man boats were RED-HOT!!!!
Let's catch you up:
Local races never fail to surprise the cucumbers. Aiming high, but unfortunately, due to outside forces and a developing squad, swinging low. Our troops will now take the priming from these experiences towards the Hong Kong International on June 10th.
ED Results:
5th Runners-up Gold Plate Final!
Congratulations to our MVP, Rhoda! 'Small but mighty' seriously applies to this girl when anything remotely dragonboat is mentioned. A true powerhouse in and out of the boat!!
🤍Silver Cup 4th runners-up
💚10th best men’s team of the day! 10/15
A great challenge for our troops out on the water this weekend. Honored to be racing against HKs fastest water warriors; pushing our stroke rate to the max.💪
🏆CONGRATS TO OUR MVP, Will, surviving his 1st local race while maintaining impeccable technique and strength throughout each race.
Now that our boys have been throughly conditioned, they will link up with our ladies heading back to the Eastern District for a go in the title bout!
As always thank you to our sponsors:
