This past weekend, 9/27 & 9/28, was our 14th Annual San Diego International Dragon Boat Race, and we could not be more grateful to everybody who came out and participated in our race! 🐉🎊

We had an amazing turnout, with tons of paddlers from out-of-state & out-of-country teams, tons of spectators and visitors, and tons of smiles and great vibes out there! 🌎🌏🌍

To all of the paddlers, drummers, and steers, whether new or top-level competitors, we thank you for giving it your all and having fun out there! Race results can be found here: 🛶🥁

To our artist for this year's poster, merchandise, and medal designs, Caroline Steele, we thank you for your beautiful artwork and dedication to showcasing the best representation of the San Diego race! 🎨

And to all of our lovely volunteers from UC San Diego Dragon Boat , Team Survivor Sea Dragons Dragon Boat Team , and our very own members, we thank you for all of the time, effort, and dedication for helping us run an outstanding event! From the dark early mornings to the late hot afternoons, we truly appreciate all of your hardwork. Additionally, we could not have asked for a better beach crew— you showed great care in keeping the boats in tip-top shape and passing along smiles and great attitudes to all of our racers! 👏💯

With that, we thank you once more for a great race this year, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!! 👋🙂
