Prague, Vltava river(under the Vyšehrad Castle rock), May 2010.


As a newbie i take the responsibility to capture the experience that even althought some times passed belong to the cathegory of lifetime adventure. I am and I am not a newbie with a padlle. On one hand my first contact with Prague Dragon Boat Club was on the photoshooting session on original indonesian dragon boats during the proud ride under the rock of Vyšehrad Castle. On the other hand soon I will be celebrating half century with a paddle in my hand. Both of these fact helped me to recruit mysleft to dragon boat crew. My thanks goes also to Eliška and Honza.

New style of paddling on boats without benches and without drum brings new life into the dragonboat classics. Indonesian boats have wide sides where you can partly sit on and party you need to kneel with your knee close to the middle of the boat. Wooden paddles are long and narrow. And compared to classic paddles they are markedly heavier.

Boats themselves pride on their beautiful large dragon heads and tails. The hull of the boat is decorated by the scale pattern. This together makes the sailing boat look like a giant floating dragon.

Therefore riding an Indonesian dragonboat is like riding a real dragon!
