Chuck Woods & Ian Kennel Team Gorging Dragons founding members Gorging Dragons This first award is to a team that started in 1996 and a few friends were interested and decided to give it a try. The two friends were Chuck Woods & Ian Kennel, encouraged by another friend Ruby she had done some paddling in Vancouver. That year the team was born, they started their paddling experiences at the Victoria Canoe & Kayak Club on Tillicum and Gorge and later Gorge & Rowing Club (now the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club). Both Chuck & Ian believed in giving back Gorging Dragons lead in the community of paddling by becoming coaches for upcoming teams, and Gorging Dragons crew helped developed training manuals, imputed in the creating of the club boats Millenniums. Gorging Dragons was the beating heart of the start of the Gorge Festival in Selkirk waterway and the race crew in Victoria.

9 A History of Dragon Boating 2018 Dragon Boat Racing was introduced to Victoria in 1994 The sport of dragon boat racing draws from the legend of Qu Yuan, a great Chinese poet and statesman who threw himself into the Miluo River upon hearing that his mother country had been defeated in battle. Local fishermen rushed to the spot where he drowned, slapping the water with paddles and banging drums to keep the river dragons away. People race dragon boats every year on the anniversary of his death, the fifth day of the fifth month, to commemorate this great poet and statesman. Dragon boat races are now held worldwide, and the ideals of Qu Yuan are still honoured through Taoist ceremonies, the spirit of the paddlers, and the invitation and involvement of the local community. Dragon boat racing was introduced to Victoria in 1994 as a demonstration of the sport for the Harbour Festival commemorating Hong Kong Day. The oneday demonstration races were such a success that by 1998, it had grown to accommodate 50 registered teams, including local and out-of-town paddlers. Over the years that followed the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival grew into a family and community event. Now the Festival has expanded to 3 days and 2 nights of free community activities and entertainment. There are live bands and cultural acts on the Coast Capital Entertainment Stage, activities and crafts in the family cultural tent, and tantalizing tastes in the Forbidden Village.

15 About Dragon Boating 2018 Dragon boats are operated by 20 paddlers. Dragon boat paddlers sit facing forward in their boats, making it different to rowing. The leading pair sets the pace for the team, with all other paddlers striving to keep perfect time with their stroke. An efficient team will be so in synch, that as their paddles strike the water, they will actually lift their boat up slightly while they surge forward. The boat is steered by a stern who controls the boat with a steering oar mounted at the rear of the boat. The pace is called out by a drummer who sits facing the paddlers. Not all drummers drum, many call out the pace and words of motivation for the duration of the race. Some common paddling terms with definitions: Paddles Up means to get ready to paddle Take it Away to start paddling Let it Run stop paddling Hold the Boat place paddles in the water in order to stop the boat from moving DID YOU KNOW? The ancient tradition of Dragon Boat Racing became a modern sport in Hong Kong in The first written record of a dragon boat was excavated from the tomb of King Xiang (reigned BCE). The myth of Qu Yuan states that he throws himself in the Miluo River and the local fisherman threw Zonzi glutinous rice dumplings and eggs in the water after him.
