Introducing Eternal Dragon’s 2024 Jersey! 🐉🔥

This years theme represents the Chinese legend of the koi and their journey in overcoming challenges and obstacles as they swim upstream in order to reach the top to ascend and transform into a dragon. In many ways this reflects our journey in paddling, a never ending journey of setting new goals to achieve and putting in the work to get there whether it’s winning the next race or coming together more as a crew there will always be a next goal.

Thus, as cliche as it sounds, it’s important to recognize that achieving or not achieving your goal isn’t what matters in the end. Rather, it’s the time, dedication, and effort that gives the goals their meaning and impact, allowing us to learn from our successes and failures along the way.

With that being said, we’ll catch you all tomorrow for the 2024 Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival!

Only one more race remains for the season, at the Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival on June 22nd-23rd. It’s time to grind for these last two weeks and peak just in time for the final race 😤💪

Keep your eyes peeled for this years jersey reveal on June 21st 👀

And that's a wrap! 🎉

This past weekend, at the 35th Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival, we seized 3rd place in the Oddball Workshop Junior Grand Final. Our paddlers left everything on the water with no regrets, and we are proud of their achievements.

This season was an ode to resilience, hard work, and unwavering dedication. We witnessed the rapid growth of our paddlers and saw how they always strived to do better and push themselves further. Challenges were overcome, unbreakable bonds were forged, and memories were made to last a lifetime.

This past weekend, a new generation of Eternal Dragon paddlers raced at their first Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival, placing second in the Junior Mixed Grand Final. We congratulate on their first place finish - it was an honour to host and race against them.

Uniquely, this Concord saw a large reunion of Eternal Dragon alumni paddlers, forming two boats - Peaked in High School and Peaked in High School U24. Both teams raced in the Premier Mixed Competitive Minor Final, placing among the top 16 teams at the festival.

As always, a huge thank you must go out to everyone who supports us - from our teacher sponsors to parents to former alumni going back years coming to spectate. Each event is not just a race, but also a reminder of how far we’ve come as a team and how strong our bond is as a family. Thanks to as well for the seamless organization of such a huge festival.

Onwards and upwards. We look forward to building upon the legacy of so many before us and continuing to strive for excellency in our paddling, as well as all else we do as a team. Our work is never over.
