SUMMER BREEZE ☀️ 🌬️| DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco Bay Area
Last Saturday
was the most PLEASANT day of the WHOLE SUMMER!
Because the temperature dropped, the wind picked up, and we enjoyed a much-needed break from the relentless heat.
A cool breeze whistled around the boat as we paddled through the waves. The sensation made us feel alive, connected to nature, and present in the moment.
There was no other place we’d rather be.
➡ Join us for a free dragon boat lesson! The refreshing weather is going to hold for another week, so there’s no better time to hop on board. Email me now at DFcaptains@gmail.com to get started.

TAKE YOUR PADDLING TO THE NEXT LEVEL | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco Bay Area
“Alex, try
flaring your elbow out less,” said Coach Jerry during a practice session.
“Less?” I replied, unsure of the change.
“Yeah. You’re flaring too much. Excess body movement slows you down.”
“OK, I’ll try,” I said. And you know what?
IT WORKED.
This slight tweak allowed me to exit my paddle from the water faster. My strokes became quicker and more efficient.
YES.
This breakthrough was the result of personalized coaching.
The best way to iron out the kinks in your technique is to have a coach who watches you and provides thoughtful analysis. Personalized feedback makes all the difference.
You just need to find a coach who will work with you one-on-one.
➡️ Email me now at DFcaptains@gmail.com for free lessons in Redwood City. We’ll provide the time, feedback, and patience you need to become a powerful paddler.

DIESELFISH’S PORTLAND ADVENTURE: STRENGTH, FRIENDSHIP, AND JOY ON THE WILLAMETE | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | Serving San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco
We felt POWERFUL as we surged down the Willamette River. The festival uses Taiwan-style boats, which are MASSIVE compared to the slim Hong Kong-style boats we usually race. It took every ounce of strength, every desperate gasp of air, every powerful stroke to pull our boat down the racecourse. The experience left us feeling drained yet also strong and fast.
