The Longest Day Event a Huge Success

Posted on by

Phantoms & Lao TeamsSmOn June 21, 2K14, the Phantom Dragons competitive dragon boat team participated in The Longest Day, a sunrise to sunset event to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association, and to provide support for, and increase the visibility of, the fun and exciting sport of dragon boat racing.

Joined by our Lao Buddhist Team friends, our paddlers started the day at Union Reservoir (Longmont, CO), paddling as part of the pre-race festivities at the annual Kinetics Sculpture Race. We then finished things off on home turf at Lake Arbor in Arvada (where we hold our practice sessions).

Great paddling was had by all, and it was an awesome event to support a worthwhile cause!

Phantom Dragons compete in Arizona Festival

Posted on by

Congratulations to the Phantom Dragons team for their strong showing in the Arizona Dragon Boat Festival held March 22-23, 2K14. Short-handed for the event, the Phantoms crew had much appreciated help by paddlers from Wasabi Power Surge, L.A. Harbor Dragons, DragonMax and NAC.

This year’s Arizona Festival was a very competitive event.  Check out the full Race Results

Several Phantom Dragons paddlers got in quite a bit of extra racing, filling in on teams from Stanford, NAC and CRAA.

Here are a few photos taken at the event (thanks to Kwok de La Luna for those he shared on Facebook)!
