At first the reason why i went to the practices was to just make myself stronger and fitter. Then somehow along the way i realize that every time i went, it felt like a social event too coz there were tons of new cool friends there. (and cute/hot girls too on top of that lol)
It also ends up feeding my need for adrenaline and it suits my competitive personality.
Shameless plug i know but Im not endorsing out of the love i have for any one team, just for the love of the sport! hahaha
Enjoy it!

I also feel that dragonboating is the best team sport there is. Other sports may come close, but db is the one that instills the feeling the most.
I mean think bout it this way. You're in a boat with 20~ or so other people. You're all doing the same thing. No one stands out, there really is no I in this team, it's we.
Hell, it feels like you're going to war with the other boats when you're in a race. That's how intense it is. Once you've sat in the boat for your first race ever, you'll understand how exhilarating it is. The surges, the pure primal energy of the grunts that come with every stroke.
You'll be stronger, fitter, since going full out for 2 min is not an easy feat to do. You'll develop strong bonds with your teammates/friends that wouldn't happen otherwise.
You'll see each other cry, laugh, and smile after a race, throw up together at the end of a race, but you'll have all gone through SO MUCH together.
Seeing a teammate paddle their hardest for you and the team is what makes this so amazing.
Before long, you'll be in the sport for years, hooked. It's a great sport, and it comes from an even greater community.
oh and ya. there's cuties too.
