Shark Alert! | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team

We’re going to need a bigger boat…



We saw a shark at practice today! You can see its fin sticking out of the water in this video.

We see a variety of plants and animals whenever we practice—seals, cranes, seaweed forests. But we’ve never had to share the water with an apex predator.

(Everyone signed their waivers, right?)

Dragon boat paddling is the ultimate outdoor adventure! Email me at dfcaptains@gmail.com to join our next expedition.

DieselFish Declassified: 4/8/17 Practice | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team

From the secret files of Coach Marynka



* Kent and Jason became Top Guns. They passed their tests and became certified steers. Proud of those guys.

* The team flipped the boats over and varnished the hulls. Those upper body workouts came in handy.

* Kathy had her first dragon boat experience today. She likes the challenge and the crew. Very enthusiastic. We’ll make sure she gets all the support she needs.


Productive practice! All the pieces are beginning to fit. We should be ready for the race soon.

No Water? No Problem! | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team

Low tide won’t stop the fun and fitness






DieselFish Dragon Boat Team practices on Redwood Creek. The creek is beautiful, but low tide turns our practice site into a squishy mud flat that stretches as far as the eye can see.

On Saturday, the tide dropped, so we hopped off the boat for some stretching and strength training. Do you see the strain on our faces? The struggle is real.

The workout was tough, but we got through it together. We're getting stronger and faster.




Dragon boat paddling is a great way to shape up. Email me at dfcaptains@gmail.com to join our workouts!

Goal setting is important at the beginning of the season, because it helps us focus on what is important. We will work together to meet these objectives and make the most of this milestone in the team's history.
