Fri, 29 Sep 2006 14:08:31 -0400 http://teamlightwave.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=34 We have found a vendor to print our Paddle dragon and bowl of rice stickers. We can order the paddle dragon and the bowl of rice up to 3 colors for the entire order. The default will be WHITE. You can request for a different color but I will only take the majority of the votes. If your color is not the majority, you will get WHITE. Here are action steps I need from all of you who ordered the stickers: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 11:33:25 -0400 http://teamlightwave.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=33 Despite the hot, humid conditions and long drive down to Long Beach, Lightwave paddled their way to victory, bringing home hardware! The countless hours of practicing race pieces and focusing on timing definitely paid off this weekend. Check out some of the highlights: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:32:58 -0400 http://teamlightwave.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=32 Paddlers, Great job in Fremont.
