Introduction to Dragon Boat Paddling

Experience the speed and power of a large human-powered boat as a guest of the Berkeley Racing Canoe Center and the DragonMax dragon boat team.

Our dragon boats are 50 ft replicas of ancient Chinese river boats of the type traditionally used for river commerce and racing, propelled by up to 24 paddlers, a steersperson and a drummer.

Beginners welcome, paddles and lifejackets provided, no paddling experience necessary. Train up for the next race (Oct. 30) or enjoy recreational paddling along the Berkeley waterfront. (Kids, dogs and non-paddling passengers can usually be accommodated, but it's better to ask first.)
