Dragon Boat West

Hello Everyone,

  The Sudden Impact Dragon Boat team is now in off-season mode.  We are looking for experienced or new paddlers for the 2009 season.  We practice in a BUK on Cultus Lake between Abbotsford and Chilliwack (closer to Chilliwack)

Next year Sudden Impact Black is going to compete at the Canadian Nationals in Montreal in August.  Most of our competitive crew is returning next year and we continue to be coached by KJ.  We could use some more experience/new paddlers (male and female) to fill out our roster.
