CAMPFIRES, CANOES, AND CHAOS | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco Bay Area

The tide was too low. So we headed outdoors for a camping trip that we’ll never forget. [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.

What does DieselFish do when the tide gets too low to race dragon boats?

We head for the wilderness.

A few weeks ago, the team travelled to the South Fork of the American River for a camping trip.

This trip was packed with adventure, laughs, and even a bit of chaos:

First, we hiked hard and worked up a serious sweat.

Next, we camped under the massive, never-ending sky. After the sun set, the horizon came alive with tiny pinpricks of light. That’s when we spotted a shooting star. This serenity wouldn’t last, though. Later that night, we discovered that one of us snores REALLY loud.

Then came the highlight, a white-water rafting experience.

At first, we handled the waves, rocks, and drops like pros. EASY.

But then, BAM.

An unexpected hit sent one of us nearly flying out of the raft.

That’s the thing about DieselFish.

We don’t just paddle together. We chase adventure together…on and off the water.
