Dragon boat 5 items starter pack!
Dragon boat festival is not the only season for paddling! Dragon boat is a sport that can be practiced all year round, no matter in winter chills, pouring rain or scorching heat! Let’s find out the 5 essential items for beginners in this sport, and start paddling together.
Uv protection tops
You sweat a lot and can easily get splashed on when practicing dragon boat. We recommend wearing quick-drying, breathable and UV-resistant clothing. Compared with loose cotton shirts that would increase fiction, light and fit clothes are preferred. Dragon boat paddling is a demanding sport, so it is important to dress light!
Aquashoes
To prevent slips and cuts, it is not advisable to wear flip flops or go barefoot. A pair of proper shoes should come with an anti-slip and durable sole to protect your feet when training.
Quick-drying caps
The big hard sun from above, sun rays reflecting off the water surface... All these may cause sunburn or discomfort to the eyes. That's why a light, and quick-drying cap is a must-have item for paddlers.
Waterproof bags
Before, during or after trainings, your personal belongings are likely to get wet. In that case, a light, easy to use waterproof bag is your best buddy. They can store dry clothes, snacks or food, and come in different sizes.
These 5 items are all you need to enjoy paddling fun! Gear up and see you on the water!
