28th Penang International Dragon Boat Festival

[merman]

It will be from 8 - 10 June at Teluk Pahang Dam, Penang Malaysia. Seems to be open to any teams regardless of level of skill. Any local teams going?

how much is the registration fees? seems like the event website is down.

Penang organised races have left me disappointed after seeing how the last Penang Pesta in last Dec was held. No offence, but extremely lousy race officiating. Who ever does a re-race after the race has ended? The chief official even had the cheek to say this was part of IDBF ruling.

From what i have found out, Teluk Bahang Dam is something like Bedok Reservoir. Calm water. The water condition wouldn't be as JIA LUT as the Penang Pesta race whereby it was held in the open seas.

And I heard it's going to be a lot of fun there as alot of international clubs from SEA will be coming over like Padang City from Indonesia, Pacific West from Malaysia, just to name a few.

And to whichever team that will be going, DO OUR NATION PROUD! ALL THE WAY!
