Yesterday some LARDies took on LA Chinatown in the annual Firecracker 10k. Outside of paddling some like to pound the pavement. What's your favorite activity outside of dragon boat?

Last month, the paddling community has lost an all-around California paddler, Aditya Kadam (D.A.) from the Bay Area. He was also one of the founding members of the California United team. On behalf of Dr. Chen and Team USA there will be a memorial for Aditya this Saturday, February 22 at 9 am at Mother's Beach. Hope to see you all there.

No LARD Disneyland Trip is complete without the traditional Davey Crockett Canoes. With 10 people we managed to commandeer a full canoe and still beat the other canoes that were full of 20 "paddlers". (photo credit: Justin Chi)

LARDies hard at work by participating in the 2nd annual SCDBC Compton Initiative. It's always nice to give back to the community when we're not paddling. Thanks to those who volunteered their time over the weekend!

????! ????! Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing all of our fans a prosperous and healthy new year!
