Im sure the Auroras would have done us proud at the competition.. But now to think forward to the next World Nations Champaign... Keep safe everyone

21.01.2022 Great racing at the first regatta for the season. Love a close race.

21.01.2022 On the shores of the Swan River sits Perth, Australias sunniest capital city. Perth is naturally adventurous and home to Indian Ocean sunsets at 19 pristine me...tropolitan beaches. It boasts a world class wine region, the Swan Valley, just 30 minutes from the city centre. The city offers an exciting mix of new hotels, bars, restaurants and cultural spaces along with one of the worlds largest inner-city parks, Kings Park and Botanic Garden. If you havent visited for a while, youll be blown away by how much has changed. And if youve never visited, there is no better time than October 2021! The 2021 Australian Masters Games will be an experience like no other in Perth, Western Australia a year round holiday destination where adventure awaits.

20.01.2022 Apocalyptic scenes from coastal Oregon & California due to raging wildfires where smoke is turning day into night. Over 15,000 firefighters are battling millions of acres of fires.Thoughts/prayers for those impacted.

19.01.2022 On International Women’s Day- Here’s to strong women: May we know them May we be be them... May we raise them. A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let's all #ChooseToChallenge. Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality. #IWD2021

18.01.2022 D : Georgina Smith : Admin Director... ? 2014 ? Perth Pirates DBC : The fitness I have achieved. It has been a long journey and I still have so much to achieve. But I have come so far in my fitness journey, and have achieved so much that I once thought was never possible. I am currently the fittest I have ever been, and I look forward to what the future holds. I could not have done it without each and every person I have paddled with. ? Dragon boating has taught me that no matter what your goals/dreams or reasons are, if you believe in yourself and constantly try to better yourself, you can achieve amazing and wonderful things. : Every race in which the boat lifts and glides down the lane. The feeling of the power, connection, and support of the whole boat. Knowing that every single person is digging deep, pushing themselves to the max, and working together to achieve the same result. One Team, One Boat, One Stroke. The strength that every person in the boat helps drives me to give more than I thought I could and hope I am giving them the same drive. ? I did dragon boating in high school for a season back in New Zealand. When I moved over here it was on my bucket list of things I wanted to do. Asked Mr. Google for my local club, and the rest is history ? Milk, and lots of it. Especially Banana flavoured milk. And my after Regatta routine often involves a good stretch and a litre of milk, straight out of the bottle. #georginasmith

17.01.2022 Hope youre all doing ok. If not, take a deep breath and reach out. There will always be an Amazon buddy close by willing to lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on , or simply to walk alongside you

16.01.2022 Footage from the 2019 Fremantle Dragon Boat Festival. This years festival will be even bigger and better. Head on down to Fishing Boat Harbour on Sunday 7th Feb to catch all the action. Amazons Perth Dragon Boat Club looks forward to seeing you there

16.01.2022 Very excited to announce that we will be back on the water this coming Saturday morning. See you there Amazons

15.01.2022 D : Brad Brooksby : General Board Member... ? 2011 ? Forza Dragon Boat Club. It is the local club in Bunbury and has a great crew where everyone gets along. : The greatest achievement was getting selected for the WA State team, makes one very proud. ? In the past, I have usually played individual sports like golf and baddy. While you can pair or play as teams its an individual effort. Dragon Boating is all team effort, so a different focus where we help each other. : A GOLD medal in Canberra wearing a State shirt will not be forgotten soon, all I can remember of the race was the last 50 m or so trying to get to the finish line with every stroke. ? I started with the Spirit of Bunbury a long time ago, I do remember paddling in the Swan under the bridge with the crew yelling Who Ha and it echoing. That was a corporate team as I was with the City of Bunbury at the time. I drifted off in other pursuits until Debbie joined Forza in 2010, I followed in 2011 and have been involved since then. ? As a member of the RWC (Red Wine Club) at Forza, I would have to say a glass of Merlot. #forzadragonboat #bradbrooksby

14.01.2022 Grand Prix regatta # 1 today - how lucky are we in WA to be able to get out in the sunshine and compete? See you all there

14.01.2022 What a fabulous day today. A lot of great racing, some spectacular wins from the other clubs open crews, a lot of great sportsmanship and a special Petals on the Water ceremony to remember our founding member Yvette. Gotta love dragon boat racing

13.01.2022 XVIII Australian Masters Games in Perth 2021 - woo hoo! Always such a great event.

13.01.2022 We are making March Menopause month because many women going through breast cancer treatment have to deal with treatment induced menopause. Whilst natural meno...pause can be bad enough, when it is induced by treatment, the onset can be early, sudden and the symptoms more severe. We want to try to help you understand what’s going on, give you some ideas about things you can do to help yourself and let you know where you can go for help. Keep an eye out for the next post about oestrogen, the hormone at the heart and bringing the heat to menopause. #menopausemarch #menopause #theflush #oestrogen #breastfriends #breastcancer #breastcancercarewa

13.01.2022 D : Sheryl Kelly : Committee Member... ? September 2016 ? Perth Pirates Dragon Boat Club : Making the state team last year, even with COVID-19 killing the dream for all us this year to head over and compete. Hopefully, the next nationals which will be here in WA will be our year. ? It has certainly shown me the importance of being part of a great team, the support and friendships I have gained from this sport have been fantastic. As the President and part of the coaching team for the Pirates, I am constantly surprised at the heart and determination that individuals show every season. Its what brings me back to this sport every year. : When the Pirate ladies 10 team won 2 gold medals at the 2017 state championships, it was a real boost for the whole club. ? A friend had been paddling for some time and he suggested that I should give it a go. It was at a time when I was looking for a new challenge, so I gave the Pirates a call and they welcomed me down for a paddle. I loved it ? Shocking confession, I am normally that hungry after training I will eat just about anything. Bad habit, but I do try to eat well and keep a balance between paddling, gym, and kayaking. #sherylkelly

Both recipients were very deserving of these annual club awards. Well done ladies
