Less than three months until our first race!

CDBA Regional Regatta: May 5
CDBA Sprint Race (Quarry Lakes, Fremont): July 8
SF International Dragon Boat Festival (Treasure Island, SF): September 15-16

Now is still a good time to invite others to attend weekly Sunday practices!

…And we’re back!  Happy belated Lunar New Year!

We’re officially starting the 2012 season with our first practice at Lake Merced on Sunday, January 29, 10:00-12:00.

Bring your signed CDBA waiver forms, bring your gear and water, and get ready to use those upper body and core muscles we all neglected during the holidays.

Now’s also a good time to drag bring your friends with you to experience the awesomeness that is dragon boating.

Paddles up!

Want an easy costume for Halloween?  How about pretending to be a dragon boat paddler?

On Sunday morning, Oct. 30, Lightwave will host an open house practice in Redwood City for anyone interested in giving the sport a try.  Veteran team members will be there to welcome and paddle alongside newcomers as the team introduces them to this intense water sport.  All the equipment is provided, you just need to bring sunscreen and a water bottle, and dress in comfortable clothes and shoes that can get wet.  And no prior experience is needed!
