PDBC Blazing Blue Dragons

PDBC Blazing Blue Dragons is a mixed dragon boat crew for paddlers of all ages. This program is ideal for experienced paddlers who can only practice once a week, would like to compete at local regattas, but who are not interested in the competitive stream that includes testing year-long.
