Dragon Boat West

The Freedom Dragons, Portland Oregon, have a couple of benches left for the Victoria race August 18-19. We could use your help if you have any paddlers that would be interested in racing with a rec team. We brought home Silver in the Pearl division and hope to do even better this year.

Please pass this on to your teammates. We are looking for help with this race only. Due to injuries and changing work schedules, our roster is a bit thin. No paddler should sit out more than one race. The key info is below

Hey Sandy,

  Are you looking for female or male paddlers?  I've sent the post to our Blue team paddlers as they will not be going.  Our Black team will be there so hopefully we can get some of our rec paddlers to come along and give you a hand.

Digger,

Thanks so much. We paddle mixed, so either are fine. We are no where near maxing on the male count for our roster.

We're more interested in finding good seasoned paddlers that have a desire to win and aren't afraid of the beer garden.

Thanks,
Sandy
