About the X-Generals

X-Generals was formed in October 2003 as a continuation of the former General Bank Dragon Boat Team. After General Bank was absorbed in a corporate merger, members of the original team could not let go of the strong ties, friendships and sense of unity they had developed, and thus decided to continue paddling together as the "X-Generals" (ex-Generals).

Since its inception, our team has always been about challenging ourselves to be better, being competitive without losing sight of how to have fun, as well as introducing others to the sport of Dragon Boating. With the addition of relatives and friends, our team has now grown into a unique, diverse crew made up of bankers, TV producers, business people, engineers, teachers and more. With each new member and each year of experience, X-Generals hopes to grow stronger and excel further as a team. In recent years, we've experienced many breakthroughs in competition, winning over half a dozen medals from the Long Beach International Races, including Gold in 2006.

X-Generals 2012 Season Fully Under Way

With our first festival of the season in Tempe, AZ under our belts, X-Generals 2012 season is now in full swing. Practice is already getting intense in preparation of the Long Beach Spring Race on April 29, and the Long Beach International Dragon Boat Festival on July 28-29.

It's looking like another exciting year of growth for our team. With a strong returning core group, and even a few new members already added to our ranks, we're hoping to continue our success from the 2011 season in every facet; promote the sport of dragon boat racing, build stronger ties within the dragon boat community and beyond, grow our team membership and camaraderie, and of course have a great time doing it all.

We've even come up with our first callout of the season (courtesy of Lee) - XG, how strong? TOO STRONG!
