🐉 What’s YOUR superpower? 🦸‍♂️ and could you bring it to SUDU?

Take a look at any dragon boat crew and you’ll find all sorts of personalities.

The storyteller. The comedian. The speedster. The quiet achiever. The encourager. The organiser. The one who just loves being out on the water.

And that’s exactly what makes a crew work. 💚

At SUDU Dragon Boat Club, you don’t need to be super fit, have any experience or know anything about dragon boating. Our crew is made up of everyday people who bring different personalities, abilities and strengths to the boat.

Maybe you’ve seen us training on Lake Illawarra at Oak Flats and wondered what dragon boating is all about. Maybe you’ve thought about trying it but weren’t sure whether it was for you.

There’s really only one way to find out. 🛶 🤔💭

🐉 Come and give it a go. Meet the crew, get out on the water and discover what YOU could bring to SUDU. 🌺

💚 Different personalities. One crew. One passion.

🐉 A fantastic first paddle for Trudy, Charmaine and Kristie! 🌺

Today these three lovely ladies tried dragon boating for the very first time, and they absolutely loved it! We were so impressed by how quickly they picked up the technique, worked together and became part of the crew.

There were plenty of smiles, encouragement and laughs along the way, which is exactly what SUDU is all about: fitness, friendship, teamwork and having fun on the water. 💚

Well done, ladies! We loved having you with us and hope to see you back in the boat again very soon. 😊

Have you ever wondered what dragon boating is like? No experience or special fitness level is needed, and we provide the equipment, coaching and support. 🌺

⭐️ Come and enjoy a FREE four-week trial with our friendly crew.

🐉 INTERCLUB RACING ON LAKE ILLAWARRA 🐉

What a fantastic morning of racing with our good friends from Nowra Waterdragons, Illawarra Dragon Boat Club and Sussex Inlet River Dragons!

Crews enjoyed plenty of friendly competition, racing both for their individual clubs and as part of mixed-club crews. It was a great opportunity to challenge ourselves, paddle alongside new teammates and share our love of dragon boating.

After the racing, everyone enjoyed a fantastic brunch together, along with plenty of camaraderie and laughs.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning such a success. We’re already looking forward to more interclub training opportunities! 🛶💨 🐲

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of SUDU Dragon Boat Club 🥳

Ten years ago, a small group of paddlers came together with a shared vision. What began as a dream has grown into a club built on friendship, teamwork, resilience and countless unforgettable memories.💚

Today we celebrate not only our achievements on the water, but the incredible people who have made SUDU what it is, our founding members, past and current paddlers, coaches, sweeps, volunteers, families and supporters. 🌺🫶🏻

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey over the past decade. Here’s to the next 10 years of paddling together. 🐉 🛶💨

Happy 10th Birthday, SUDU! 💚 🥳

What’s your favourite SUDU memory? We’d love to hear it in the comments. 😊

🌺 What a fantastic day for our SUDU paddlers at the Nowra Regatta last Saturday. Huge congratulations to Nowra Waterdragons for hosting such a well organised and enjoyable event 👏🏼 The feedback from everyone was the same, great racing, great atmosphere and plenty of fun all day long. 🤩

A special shout out to our SUDU women, Karen, who stroked her first regatta and Rhonda, Angela, Julie and Sharon, who all teamed up with Nature Coast Dragon Boat Club and Merimbula Water Dragons Inc to come away with a gold and a silver medal. Also well done to our men, Greg and Tony, who paddled with Mako Paddle Club and brought home 2 gold and a silver. Outstanding effort by all involved.🥇🥇🥇🥈🥈

Thanks again to the organisers, volunteers and supporters who made the day such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one. 💚🫶🏻

What a gorgeous Mother’s Day morning on the water today 💚🛶

Perfect conditions, great energy and plenty of hard work mixed with plenty of laughs. It was especially nice to share the session with some of the wonderful mums in our SUDU family, Karen, Nicole, Melissa and Julie.

Dragon boating is more than just training and racing. It’s about community, friendship and the people who make our club what it is. Our paddling mums are a big part of that. Their support, encouragement and commitment help make SUDU such a special place to be. 🫶🏻

Wishing all the amazing mums, grandmothers and mother figures throughout our SUDU community a very happy Mother’s Day. We hope you all had a fantastic day with family and friends 💚
