TRYING SOMETHING NEW | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco Bay Area

>>> Our teammate Anna discovered a new kind of dragon boat challenge. Read on to learn more. [ONLY 5-second read] <<<

DieselFish is a San Jose, Peninsula, and San Francisco Bay Area dragon boat racing team. We offer free lessons in Redwood City.

Our teammate Anna has taken on a new challenge: steering. Lately, she’s been getting serious about it. After practice, I talked with her about this experience.

DF: Why did you decide to try steering?
A: I want to make sure the team always has a steer on duty.

DF: So, out of a sense of responsibility?
A: Yeah.

DF: What do you like about steering?
A: It’s FUN.

DF: Do you have any advice for people that want to try steering?
A: It’s a little scary trying to balance when you first start. But 
you’ll get the hang of it. Then it gets fun.

DieselFish encourages you to break your routine and try something new—like Anna did. Don’t miss out on the challenge, excitement, and fun of dragon boat racing with DieselFish. Email me now at DFcaptains@gmail.com to get started.
