Hong Kong VRC Paddle Club
Set in beautiful natural back drops with ocean and mountain views, the oldest private club in Hong Kong with a rich history, the Victoria Recreation Club has two club houses, hidden gems in this fast paced, cosmopolitan city. The main club house is situated in Tai Mong Tsai, Sai Kung on five acres of lush greenery and over looking an idyllic bay with undisturbed views of the South China Sea. The second club house is just fifteen minutes drive from the central business district and the best location on Hong Kong Island for water sports. The Victoria Recreation Club aims to be the best private club for water sports, ideal venue’s for water sports i.e. paddling, canoeing, kayaking, dragon boating and open water swimming.
For many people in Hong Kong, the sport of paddling is synonymous with the competitive pastime of dragon boat racing. The VRC Paddle Club is proud to host one of the largest dragon boat regattas in Hong Kong, the Deepwater Bay Dragon Boat Regatta. Usually held on a Sunday in late April or early May, this early to mid-season timeslot gives crews a good chance to test their form against many of the crews they expect to race later in the season at the Tuen Ng races. Held over the standard international distance of 500m, along the western shore of Deepwater Bay, the VRC offers events for Open, Women’s, Mixed and Under 18 categories.
