Image Sunday mornings are supposed to be for sleeping in, a day for relaxation to get ready for the upcoming week, not so for this past Sunday. The sun was tucked behind a soft, fluffy marine layer as if telling the drone of paddlers gathered below that it was still too early in the morning to rise out of bed. The mumble and murmur of people can be heard throughout Quarry Lake in Fremont as paddlers from all over the Bay Area gathered for the annual 250m sprint races.

ImageThe true story of how a youth dragon boat team went to Seattle,
Whipped the competition, and qualified for Macau
By John Herrera

August  22-23, 2009

A very diverse group of teenagers from San Jose California descended upon Seattle, Washington for the Pacific Dragon Boat Association (PDBA) championships with one goal in mind: win an entry into the 2010 World Club Crew Championships in Macau, China.  What had started as a pipe dream during the trials, tribulations, and struggles at the beginning of the season was quickly becoming a reasonable goal as the season progressed with increased success.   These very enthusiastic teenagers had overcome two poor performances in the beginning of the season and were on a roll after winning gold medals in two of their three races prior to Seattle.  As cliché as it might sound, these kids were starting to believe.

BAD Successfully Defends PDBA Open Title Print E-mail

Thursday, 10 September 2009
ImageDespite what has been characterized as a rebuilding year for BAD, a retooled BAD open team successfully defended its PDBA title that was won two years ago in a very hard faught win over San Diego in the battle for the right to go to Penang.  This time it was an all or nothing, one race for all the marbles versus Wasabi and Sail Point that would determine if BAD would keep the PDBA trophy and qualify for Macau in 2010.

The open final was the second race of the entire weekend so there was no warm up nor was there any time to stumble out of the blocks while trying to clear out the cobwebs and shake off the jet - lag.  BAD lined up in lane two, a lane that would make things interesting for the steersperson, but more on that later.

I need to finish the line ups
BAD3 turned in its best performance of the season by winning a decisive victory in the D division final at the Redwood Shores Dragon Boat Festival.  The first place performance was a very memorable one for the kids from Independence High School who made up the majority of BAD 3.

The day got off to a brilliant start for BAD 3 who competed against some very strong opponents in the first heat.  BAD 3 gave the teams in this competitive bracket everything they could handle.  Jorge Cruz, Calvin Ly, Dennis Nguyen, and Steven Umali powered the way for BAD 3 who matched their opponents stroke for stroke throughout the race.  Unfortunately for BAD 3, technique fell off in the second half of the race and they were unable to keep up with their more seasoned adversaries.  Despite the rough patch at the half way point, BAD 3 was able to regroup behind the inspired racing of Elisha McIntosh, Robell Opilas, and Daniel Alarcon.  The end result was a very respectable fourth place finish in the first heat.
