Dragon Boat Pan Pacific
Dragon Boat Pumicestone completed its inaugural Pan Pacific Masters Games 2024 campaign held on the Gold Coast and returns home with two bronze medals.
Cheering supporters on shore sent massive waves of encouragement to the dynamic mixed crew aged 55+ consisting of three amazing men and seven unstoppable women as they raced the 500 and 200-metre categories.
“Racing was tight, fast and furious,” said Craig Munce, Vice President of Dragon Boat Pumicestone. “I watched with my heart in my mouth as the team managed to hold off the competition to come away with the bronze.”
The 40+ women’s crew paddled their way into the finals and although there were no medals, finished a respectable 5th place.
“I am beyond proud of ALL our members for their remarkable eff orts,” said Michelle Hanton, President.
“Our club is not even 2 years old, but the energy and camaraderie are contagious; a testament to how collaboration can lead to amazing achievements.”
For anyone interested in trying the sport, the next FREE Come & Try Session is at 7.30 am Sat, December 7 at Sylvan Beach.
