Dragon Boat Racing is the world’s fastest growing water sport. Making appearances in 2011 on ABC’s The Bachelorette, NBC’s The Biggest Loser and CBS’s Amazing Race, even Will and Kate took time to Dragon Boat Race while visiting Canada! After conquering a dragon boat race, your and your bridesmaids will surely be ready to work together as a team on your wedding day! This activity would be perfect for a large bridal party as you need a team of 20 paddling a 40 foot long boat to the beat of their drummer. Synchronicity is more important than strength.
