  • When a festival has a rich and long history, there are bound to be stories like this one.

"25 years ago, a crew of enthusiastic rookies grabbed some paddles, climbed into a dragon boat, and hoped for the best. It was meant to be just a fun weekend… no one expected it to turn into a 25-year addiction.

Last weekend, they returned to the same festival. With louder joints.

Over the years, they tasted victory, swallowed defeat (and a lot of lake water), seen sunburns in weird places, formed lifelong friendships, racked up road trip stories across the continent, and welcomed a new generation of paddlers into the madness. The dragon boat bug bit hard—and they never recovered.
Who are we?

We are (still)…. the AQUAHOLICS. 
Paddles Up. Always."
