Let's learn how to paddle...






Went to Bedok Reservoir earlier to watch a Dragon Boat Race event. 
And as the usual me, I want to learn how to to do it too! It may seem "easy" to do (the paddling) with spectator's vantage point but I'm guessing it's also as difficult just like other sports. Rigid training usually goes behind those powerful strokes.


Here's some helpful basic tips on how to do it "RIGHT"


3 STEPS of PADDLING

a. "A" position - Paddle's UP
b. The "CATCH" - Placing the paddle in the water
c. The "EXIT"


For us to better understand how this is done, let's watch the videos below... :)






And here's a sample of the thrilling action during the games!
Surely, you can never guess who's the winner until they reach the end line.



And now I'm thinking how to join in... Lol! :)
