Auckland’s Westhaven Marina was alive with excitement during last Friday’s Race to the Tower Corporate Splash.

People from across Auckland took the opportunity to try dragon boating for the first time, making this the most successful Give it a Go campaign to date.

The Auckland Dragon Boat Association (ADBA) is pleased to announce the launch of the Race to the Tower: Corporate Splash, a unique team-building event set to take place on 29th November 2024.

The Auckland Dragon Boat Association is excited to welcome new paddlers to experience the exhilarating world of dragon boating, completely free of charge! Whether you're looking for a new team sport or simply want to try something adventurous, this is your chance to "Give It a Go" at one of our upcoming open days.

The Women of Steel (Wāhine Maitai) are on an incredible journey, moving from the local dragon boating in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland) to compete at the World Club Crew Championships in Italy this September 2024. As a member of the Auckland Dragon Boat Association, their journey highlights their strong teamwork and commitment to both the sport and their community. Now, they’re preparing to represent their club and show the world the spirit and unity that have brought them to the global stage.

ADBA can now confirm that we have had advice from the Safeswim lead scientist that the measurement used for the site is calculated to a level fit for swimming with face down for 10 minutes full immersion. The level of Red and Black has been assessed as very low risk for boating and paddling activities regardless of the warning level on the Safeswim website.
