About Us Committed to team work, training and good doses of laughter Te Waka Dragons has built up a strong reputation among the Queensland dragon boating community. In the spirit of its foundation members, Te Waka ('the boat' in Maori) promotes enjoyment of the sport through its regular training sessions, community events and attendance at regattas. We aim to provide a club which allows everyone in the community to participate in this fun water sport. Our membership represents a variety of cultures, age groups and backgrounds, as well as levels of experience (from beginners to race squad). Launching out of Breakfast Creek, the Brisbane River is our training ground. While the social paddlers take in the sights, the race squad focuses on technique and endurance in preparation for the increasingly competitive local, state and national regattas. Te Waka competes in all three dragon boating categories - ladies, mens and mixed teams - and across all race distances - 200m, 500m, 1000m and 2000m.
