Phantom Dragons compete in Arizona Festival

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)!
