Dragon Fire is our metropolitan region, training on the international-standard racecourse at West Lakes — the home of South Australian dragon boating and host to DBSA regattas and the State Championships. From first-time paddlers at Saturday Come ‘N Try sessions to crews racing at national level, Dragon Fire is where most new ACDC members take their first stroke.

The things new paddlers ask us most. More in our full FAQ.
You don’t have to be physically fit to begin — many members started having never played any sport. Our Season Program builds fitness gradually and safely in three phases, and is designed for all levels.
Just a bottle of water. Everything else is supplied — paddle, life jacket, boat and laughter.
ACDC welcomes paddlers from age 9 up, with members ranging up to 65+. Racing has divisions for all ages, so there’s no limit to what you can achieve regardless of age.
Season fees are confirmed via our online registration portal. All memberships include DBSA & AusDBF registration, insurance, and equipment. Or try it first, free, with a Dragon Pass.
Absolutely. Plenty of our paddlers enjoy the fitness and social side without racing competitively — as long as the coaches know your intent.
Whether you want to try paddling, book a corporate team-building session, or just ask a question.
