Please help me congratulate @Christina Potter on her successful completion of the Level 2 Race Steering program. She sailed through the coursework, nailed her final exam, and completed her competency assessment. Congrats Christina!

One thing you may not realize about this community is that when you invite someone to join, and they buy one of our qualifying courses, you can earn a little commission. For every few folks that register for a course, that could cover the cost of a new paddle for you, maybe a hotel night at an away festival, or some DB swag! EVEN IF you never buy a course yourself. Why are we doing this? Because we want to build this into a real community hub for the sport. Unlike Facebook groups full of spam and nonsense, this is designed to be a space where folks can genuinely connect, share tips and insights, and grow in the sport—without judgment or drama. So how do you invite people and get credit for it? On desktop, go to the little button on the right that says "SETTINGS" - click on it and a window will pop up showing you your unique invitation link. Copy that link, then share it with your club, crew, friends, etc. On mobile, click the 3 dots in the top right of your screen, click on "Invite People" then copy the link there. You can also visit our Facebook Page and share any of the posts there, like this one about the upcoming Summit, to your timeline. I'd love to have 100 people at the Summit and 1000 people in here by the end of the summer. And i'd really appreciate your help getting the word out!!! Thank you in advance!!

A: Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth! (Bonus points if you brush with your non-dominant hand too!) What kind of lunacy is this? It's actually rooted in science. And it builds ankle strength, sharpens stabilization systems, plus (bonus!) it integrates core work into something you're already doing. (And you don't have to be a steer-in-training to reap the benefits of this either.) This is just one of the golden nuggets @Joann Fegley dropped on folks during the session titled "Steering: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You" Sunday's virtual summit. Replays are now up and accessible in the classroom! You gonna try it? Show us video of you giving it a go (it's harder than you think!)

We've had lots of new folks join us in recent days. So let's welcome them in and start some new conversations going!! Here's what to do next: 1️⃣ If you've been in the community a while, please "Like" this post, then drop a GIF or a hello to welcome our new folks. 2️⃣ If you've just arrived, please also "Like" this post, then go read this post, and follow the instructions you find there. (Click on the blue words "this post" and you'll be taken to the post I'm talking about.) It will help you understand how the community works and how to start connecting with others here!

1️⃣ How would you handle someone drifting into your lane during a race? 2️⃣ What would you do if your dragon head falls off before the race vs during the race? 3️⃣ Imagine you have right of way on a 2K turn but the boat next to you refuses to give way. What would you do? #level2
