Poky, a recent addition to the team, experienced an important paddler rite of passage. Read on to find out what it’s like to race a dragon boat for the first time.
Poky joined DieselFish in April 2022. Since then, she’s become
an important part of the team. We value her strength, positive attitude, and
sense of humor. On September 24, Poky travelled with DieselFish to compete in the
San Diego International Dragon Boat Race. At this event, she experienced an
important rite of paddler passage: her first race.
“The race was really fun, and I was super excited,” Poky said. “I think my stomach ached a little bit when I was sitting in the boat. And then, once they started, I didn’t think about anything, and I just paddled and looked at everyone.”
Congratulations, Poky! You’ve made excellent progress. We
can’t wait to see what comes next for you in your dragon boat journey. DieselFish
will be there for you every step of the way.
→ If Poky can do it, so can YOU. DieselFish will offer
FREE dragon boat lessons in Redwood City on 10/8, 10/15, and 10/22. Email me
