| In the Chinese zodiac, the Fire Dragon is one of five types of dragons: earth, fire, wood, water and metal. The Fire Dragon, or Huo Long, is the most extroverted and competitive dragon. It holds purifying and healing powers and is said to have the ability to arouse massive popular support. | |
| With the spirit of the Fire Dragon in mind, the Portland Fire Dragons launch our fourth year as a team. Comprising people of a variety of backgrounds and ages, we embrace the spirit of community found in dragon boat cultures worldwide. We practice year-round in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon and welcome new paddlers (experienced or not) to come to open tryouts almost any time of year. Steve Pietila, coach | |
