Dragon boat racing is part of their passion as is building a community of dragon boat teams to empower and support cancer survivors in the sport. This group is also known as the Central Coast SurvivOars which was the founding team in 2007 and they have competed in festivals throughout the US, and traveled to Canada, Hungary and New Zealand. Anyone can join in the fun of this sport or even just give it a try with 8 to 18 people for a Special Paddle. See www.CCDBA.org.
