HKUST MBAAA Dragons

Three cheers to our newly-minted Dragons, who completed their first OPEN DAY session!

We hosted our biggest OPEN DAY ever!

On Saturday morning, we welcomed more than 20 newcomers to MBAAA DRAGONS, and for some of them - it was their first ever dragon boat experience. We were even graced by the the young and energetic Founder of our sponsor Kin Technology, Oswin!

We split everyone into Team Keith and Team Edgar, as the two Captains coached their respective members with land and boat drills. This set up an exhilarating final showdown between two teams, as we had a race to determine which was the better team.

All's well that ends well as both teams practically crossed the finish line together. And we all celebrated our comradeship with a healthy dash of watermelon - a team tradition!

HKUST MBAAA DRAGONS remain an integral and proud part of the greater HKUST MBA community. And we'd like to wish all our new and current students an amazing MBA journey!

We just hosted a massively successful KIDS DAY for a bunch of Little Dragons!

While the scorching heat was record-breaking, the Captains took every precaution and preparation to make sure that both children and adults had a fun and safe time.

After a bit of land training, we all boarded the boat to do some live drills. Under the coaching of our Captains, even our youngest Dragons were able to come to grips with the basics of dragon boat paddling.

Ice cold drinks were shared during our final break, before we completed our last drill of the day - a mock race of 200m.

After we were back on land, the Captains revealed the last surprise for everyone - freshly cut watermelons to conclude a fun afternoon!

Special thanks to our members who came in support of the team, providing safety and muscles. Couldn't have done it without you all!

After some late additions to the team right before our first race, the full team poster is complete!

Woohoo!

20260712 將軍澳水道小龍賽 - 《鼓手眼中的科大商碩龍》

科大商碩龍，過去十二個月，過得並不容易。

到某個年紀，總有事業家庭傷患等原因，令隊友落船。

這些年來，總靠一班舊戰友守著，也感謝一班新血的支援。 比賽是洗禮，那種斷氣方休的無氧感，將每個一起衝過終點的隊友連結，成就了一世是自己人的默契。

對於舊隊友， 是一起承先，勇於啓後的互勉。

而每一個一起衝過終點的新舊隊員， 則是我們要拼盡所有的約定。

鼓手見證了每次約定，除了是觀察者，也是最核心的一份子。

20260712 將軍澳水道小龍賽 - 《隊友眼中的科大商碩龍》

"船上一分鐘，船外七粒鐘"，應該是比賽日的最好描述。

我們這次嘗試從不同隊友的視覺，看看這七小時，科大商碩龍到底是如何準備，熱身，興高采烈飛禽大咬，圍爐吹水，以至在終點綫與每位賽畢的隊友擊掌慶祝。

Last (seriously...) but not least of our KYC is Vivian, or we simply call her V!

If there's one thing you absolutely must know about V, it's that she's absolutely afraid of

dogs.

That's really bad, because dragons can sometimes look like dogs from certain angles. OK maybe not. But somehow, we're constantly reminded that she's afraid of dogs.

So as Captains, we're letting you all know - that we're making a new rule - let's call it "V Rule" - that no team mates should ever,

ever,

ever,

bring a dog onto the dragon boat.

Peace.
