Hi, @RezaET, I would track it as a "workout".  The workout track is the only one that you can rename.

You can create "dragon boating" (or any name you like) in your web-based dashboard under the activity log.  (If you don't use the web-based program often -- but mainly use your app -- you may not be aware that there are some things you can do there that can't be done in the app.). There is a link, top right, to your dashboard on each page of the forums.  Click on dashboard, then choose log and then activity from the menu at the top of the next page.

At the bottom right of the activity log page there is a box to create a "custom activity".  Create your dragon boating activity.

Once you have created this on the web, it will be available to you in your app, so you can rename your tracked workout to dragon boat.  Hopefully this will be obvious depending on which app you use, but basically you open your "workout" and choose edit --> rename / categorize.  In the search box start typing the name of your custom activity and it should come up.  Rename and save.

If this isn't clear, please post again and let us know whether you are using iOS, Android or Windows app for more specific instructions.

I hope this helps!  Welcome to the forums.

Thank you, so each time I need to edit my activity  ?

and my ionic detect my Dragon boat as elliptical and do not track distance, is there any solution to create a custom activity whit specific item and can start it from my ionic ?

for example I like to create an activity, name it "Dragon boat" and in this activity I need to track time, Speed, heart rate, distance and so on and I like to start this  activity from exercise in my fitbit watch.

Hi, @RezaET, as I explained above, you need first to create a custom activity on the web based activity page.  Ince created it will be available to you in the app.

From your watch you should track it as a "workout" using the exercise app.  Once it has synced to your Android phone as a "workout" you can quickly rename it to your custom activity (Dragon Boat). 

I hope this is clear.
