About

Join the fun and festivities on the grassy banks, or the sandy beaches of Lake Pegasus on SUNday 29-January-2010. Following last season's fun, Aoraki Dragons bring you the Twelve-paddler version of the sport. Teams had so much fun in 2011, we just had to do it all again.

Aoraki want to encourage paddlers back into the boat after the New Year break. Many people will still be lazing on the beach. But for those that are in town (or just a few minutes north), we bring you the new concept to South Island dragon boating - the Super 12 format. Competitive racing, plus lots of fun races on Pegasus Lake.

Instead of the full crew of 22 in a boat, all you need are 12 paddlers (plus a sweep, and a caller). If you don't have a sweep, we can allocate one. Composite teams and casual paddlers are welcome. Just $5 per paddler (or caller/sweep) on the day.

The events on display will also be a little different. Plenty of fun races and chances for on-the-water glory.

Aoraki Dragons are thrilled to be working with Infinity Realty to bring racing to Pegasus Lake, just 25 minutes north of Christchurch. Come and experience the colour and excitement of the dragons!

Aoraki Dragon Boat Association Inc is a not-for-profit collective that represents teams in Christchurch, to develop the competitive sport, providing facilities, boats and event organisation.
