Dragon boat. The oldest and BEASTLIEST of all river sports in the world. It originated in China, about 2,000 years ago.
The boats are about 40 feet long and weigh 2,000 pounds. Each fits 22 people: 20 paddlers two to a seat, a drummer and a steersperson.
A good dragon boat team has all 20 paddlers paddling in sync and can move relativley fast in the water. A sucky boat will look like a catepillar going down the river and won't move fast. At all.
The paddle speed ranges from 70-90 strokes per minute, give or take a bit.
Crew teams generally think they are better than dragon boats because they go faster. Big whoop. Not our faults they call power 10's when we're paddling light.
And we are more man. We get splashed like crazy and have water constantly in our faces.
There is a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Summer 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic. A lot of the world will be there.

Get the sex dragon mug.Using a scale of 1 through 10 dragons (sometimes 11 or 12 in extreme cases) based on how bizarre something or a situation is. Dragon weirdness was first conceived in Starsky and Hutch in the jail house scene when Will Ferrell tells Starsky and Hutch that things may get really weird, "2 dragons."
Andrew: You see that tall blond over there with that midget?
Jenny: They liked to be called little people.
Andrew: Whatever, that's at least 11 dragons.
Jenny: Nah, I say it's no more than 9 dragons on the dragon scale.
