oh yah. be warned... you're going to have a SORE ass... the benches in dragonboats are EVIL. some people wear padded shorts (i wear cycling shorts under my boardshorts), some people put pads on the seat. i prefer the minimal padding of my cycling shorts because anything thick or foamy, i'll get an indent where all my weight is on the outside hip, and that indent throws the balance of my hips off, and i'll get cramps in my glutes and support muscles. eventually, you'll build up calouses on your ass cheek and your nerves in that area will be dead and it won't bother you any more.
