Welcome to The Cultus Lake Dragon Boat Club website.
The Cultus Lake Dragon Boat Club heads two teams from Cultus Lake, the Dragonflyers and the Soul Sisters.
More paddle power wanted! We are now open to adding a few new members, if you are interested, phone Daphne at 604-858-917
Dragon boating is one of the fastest growing water sports in the western world and is a great sport for all ages. A dragon boat team consists of a drummer, a steersperson, and 20 paddlers to paddle a very long and narrow boat, sometimes adorned with a dragon head, accross a 500 m. stretch of water. It is a lot of fun and great exercise!
Both teams prepare for races by practising 2 -3 times per week, rain or shine. They strive for impeccable timing and strength endurance. All they need to compete is a paddle, a life jacket, and an attitude of excellence!
This year, the Club held their 4th Annual All Women's Dragon Boat Festival at Cultus Lake to inspire friendly competition amongst teams from all over B.C. Besides some competive racing, there were great raffle prizes and wonderful things to eat. Many local teams, as well as out of town teams, enjoyed a day of racing at one of the most beautiful sites in the province. Hope to see you there next year!
