A big thank you to Paul from North Coast Dragons and Masha from Sunshine Coast for joining us at our Tuesday training session!

It was fantastic to have you both on the water with the Mackay Stingers. We appreciate you taking the time to visit, share your experience, and be part of our training. Opportunities to connect with fellow dragon boaters from other clubs help strengthen our sport and community.

We hope you enjoyed your time with us! Safe travels and happy paddling! 🐉
