Summer PADDLE for deaf and hearing teenagers

Donegal Regatta

Always fun to be back in Donegal town for their annual regatta - this year without being washed out.


China Trip - International Dragon Boat Festival 

Five of Dublin Vikings were part of the team representing Ireland in International Dragon Boat Festival in China. 

They had great time off and on the water, with great hospitality provided by Chinese hosts. Amazing experience and well done.


Racing Season started - two Silvers

Dublin Vikings competed at first two regattas of the season - Athy 200m and Carlow 500m.

Great competition and close races in both, with less than 0.5s separating top 3 teams - Vikings were 2nd on both events, with couple of strokes deciding a winner. 

Lots of room for improvement and fine tuning Vikings machine - looking forward to next race, it's time for gold.


Barcelona Dragon Boat Festival 

Dublin Vikings competed at Barcelona Dragon Boat Festival this May - great racing experience and first time in small boats (10 paddlers + helm and drummer). 


Summit to sea for mnd

Dublin Vikings had a great day out on the water supporting Summit To Sea For MND on Saturday Apr 20th.

We had 3 full boats training for Irish Dragon Boat Association racing events this summer - beside Vikings, we had our friends from Kerala House and Cantonese community teams contributing to this worthy cause.

Thanks to everyone, we donated 300e to this great event.
