Sarawak Regatta @ Kuching Waterfront, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman (Kuching), Kuching, Sarawakposted by d_luaz

Once upon a time, warring tribes of Sarawak compete in water sports to see which tribe stands tall. They were first held at the Baram River to settle local rivalries without resorting to war and headhunting.
Now, this adrenaline-rushed annual event, held on the first week of September sees friendly competitors outpacing themselves in paddleboat, powerboat and canoe competitions along the Sarawak River.
Be at the Kuching Waterfront and be one with the beat of drums from the ‘warring tribes’.
You can feel the excitement in the air, just like those from the bygone eras. This is rekindled as the State’s expert boatmen take up their paddles to prove their prowess in the river.
