Paddling Around the World with BRD!

Who says you need a tour bus to see the world? At Brisbane River Dragons, we like to travel with a paddle.

We currently have BRD paddlers around the globe:

🇸🇬 Singapore – our Masters Men Outrigger crews competed at the IVF Sprint Championships

🇫🇷 France – our amazing MBT Breast Cancer Survivor crews are proudly representing DAB and BRD at the IBCPC Festival.

🇹🇼 Taiwan – our Senior C dragon boat paddlers are taking on the Club Crew World Championships at beautiful Liyu Lake.

Different events, different countries, same passion.

From outrigger canoes to dragon boats, paddling gives us a pretty fantastic way to see the world, challenge ourselves, make lifelong friendships and have a LOT of fun along the way!

Paddle. Travel. Explore. Repeat.

Who knows where the BRD paddles will take us next?

As our Dragon Boaters head to Taiwan, our Outriggers are heading home from Singapore.

The IVF World Sprint Championships have come to a close. 38 countries represented.

Our Master Men 40s team Rob Zane Aidan Axel Cade Lawrence, competed in
V12 500 with Sunset Bay.
V6 1000 turns
V6 500 straights

They gave it their all and made repechage in all of their events.

The first time for most at a world level.

They paddled hard, gained great experience and absolutely made their club proud.

Shannon raced with Sunshine Coast MW50s in
V6 1000 turns
V6 500 straights
Her team got into repechage and semi finals for the straights

Tom raced with Scarborough OCC MM50s in
V12 500
V6 1000 turns
V6 500 straights
His team made all repechage and semi finals for the straights.

We wish them all a safe journey home !

Except Axel and Faye who are next stop Taiwan to compete with the Dragon Boaters.

We are pumped for this coming years racing with AOCRA

Many thanks to everyone who has helped in their journey.

Special thanks to Scarborough Outrigger Canoe Club who have allowed them to train in a Hydra. The official canoe for these championships.

They've trained hard.

We are already proud of them.

Our thanks also goes to Faye Skrandies who will has the envious task of managing them. It took us 40mins to get a group photo today. 🤣. She's going to have fun ! Lol
