Team LARD heading to Hong Kong

When you been around a paddling community for more than half your life you get to meet some amazing people and teams who turn into extend family from all over the world. I have had the honour of paddling against and even with LARD (Los Angeles Racing Dragons) over the years. Only two teams I have been on have ever come close to how close knit this club really as a family.

This July LARD will be racing in four different divisions at the Club Crew World Championships in Hong Kong representing their club as well the USA. In addition, with it being LARD’s 15 season, the club designed new practice jerseys and used it as a fundraiser for any non-LARD members. Instead of a posing in the new shirt, I leave you with this amazing action shot from one of their recent practices.

Happy Mothers Day

Thank you mom for being there for my brother and I over the years, by teaching us how to swim, driving me to and from dragonboat and outrigger practices (until I knew how to drive), being at every local regatta. I may not always say it, but thank you for everything.

Instead of the typical Mother’s day bunch my brother and I decided to take our mom out to the movies this evening.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there.

What do you have planned for Mother’s Day?
