that was nice, but they were so thick...sticky gobs of suncreen haha

[ACao]

hey everyone! I left my wallet on one of the shuttles from Marriott to Treasure Island today, it's in the 3rd row from the back in the webbing....it's a black leather Oakley with a girl's id and our keycard to the Marriott in it, if anyone finds it could you please return it to the Marriott front desk or any Dragon Hearts Magnum paddler

thank you!

[Mike]

That's a bummer about your wallet.  I think if the bus took only dragon boaters you would have a high hance at getting it returned.  Unfortunately it also takes people in the city for free too.  Have you tried calling the shuttle services orgainizer?  One year I left my camera and got it back the next morning after getting in touch with him.

Way to represent, all Canadian teams   

[minipaddler]

It was a HUGE Canadian domination.  The curse is alive and kicking and the standard set for next year.  Venue was awesome, weather was fabulous, transportation shuttles, loved them.  Some suggestions to San Fran organizer's for next year:

1)  Need tentage in marshalling area.  Standing in the shade of the dumpster was smelly.
2)  More race announcements in paddler's village.  We almost missed our semi final because you got 45min ahead of schedule when you announced at the team captain's meeting you would stick to 15 min if you got ahead.  and we arrived 10 min before the scheduled marshalling of the race. However, being ahead is always nice.
3)  Starter:  Hire Kim!!!  (enough said)

Otherwise, a very good regatta.

always nice to see our competitors join up to dominate

Hi All,

On behalf of the California Dragon Boat Association (CDBA) I just wanted to thank all of the visiting crews that came down to enjoy some excellent racing this past weekend.  Our festival is a race run by paddlers for paddlers and your support means a lot to us.

Just a quick note to everyone from Canada...anyone who wants to race in SF next year, you may want to register your team ASAP. Spread the word, San Francisco is the best race in the US. Great Racing, Great City, Great Venue and above all - CDBA and all the SF teams ROCK!

We sure raced some tough teams down there (LARD, Dragon Warriors, BAD, Absolute, Ripple, Cal Dragonboat, Wasabi, Bridge City (Portland), Space Dragons, Killer Guppies, DPW, SFL and Dragon Max). Portland, LA, Texas and SF represented very well.

BTW, there is a rumour circulating around that a team from CHINA might be coming to try to take away our domination. If they do show, we will have to bring our top guns down.

Once again, thank you to all the Canadians for making me feel like we were at home again. It was great to see Pond Scum (Regina), Deep Cove (Perfect Catch, In Snyc, Catch 22), TD Lighting, Fluid Motion, Jet Start (Toronto), Dragon Hearts Magnum, Masters of D'zone, Sudden Impact Black (Fraser Valley), Fort Langley, Sister in Sync, and lifescan

Hope to you see you all again next year....

Kerry,

Our thanks to you as always for keeping our dock moving, fun and safe.  Certainly, I think the Canadian teams had much metal to bring home in there luggage and hopefully some fun memories and good times as well!

See you next year !

Hans

Back home and exhausted.  Weather was beautiful ... 25-30 degrees sunshine over the weekend. 

This is a very well run race.  It's the 4th time that I've been to SF, and it has always been fun. 

My comments:
- The competition is good across all divisions (Mixed and Junior). California teams LARD, Dragon Warriors and BAD put up good competition in the A final.
- The hosting teams are great.  They really take care of visiting teams.
- Dockmaster Kerry kept things going on time.
- Convenient shuttle bus service to and from race site.
- Closing ceremonies - Good gesture to have top 3 in consolation invited to the stage for photos
- Cheers to Dragon Warriors and CDBA for organizing.  This definitely is a race run by paddlers for paddlers. 
 

These are a few of the photos I took over the weekend.  They are mostly from the closing ceremonies.  Hopefully, others will have additional photos to share.
