Thought of just sharing some latest from Hong Kong to this amazing community!
Our dragonboat race season 2025 has been very competitive so far. My team participated in one of the most traditional fisherman race last weekend at Po Toi Island, the most southern outlying island of Hong Kong, where all local teams (by invitations only) gets to race in our own teak (wooden) boat with the Chinese opera bamboo theatre as the racing backdrop.
Despite the history of the event, it was a highly competitive 250m(ish) straight race. Top speed of most of the teams can go up to 19-20kph. Highly recommend to all of you to visit if ever thereβs a chance! π₯ Itβs a very different racing experience comparing to other IDBF events.
