Just something to lighten the mood.

- Where you're from - Minnesota - What club / team you're with - Dragon Divas - What stage of your steering journey you're on - and where you're going - I’ve steered for 3 years both at practices and in races. I’m hoping to steer at least one race in France this summer at the international IBCPC festival. - A fun fact about you - I’m testing for my 5th degree black belt this fall - What scares you shitless about race steering or what gives you the biggest thrill. - I’m nervous to steer a 2k but would like to get there! - [Bonus points if you include a selfie.] - photo is me monitoring my boat loading before a race

Let's get the entire world covered shall we? In the meantime, please help me welcome @Shea Akers @Misfa Ahmed @Patricia Schafer @Henry Viets @Henry Zheng @Johnalee Slavin @Shelley Franz and @Kimberly Sheffield!!

Does your crew have a tradition of any kind? A favorite race? Let's learn a bit about one another! Here's my crew - Malia Racing - at our favorite race in the world, the Quebec Cup which is held in Montreal every September. We started a tradition of taking a circular photo like this each time we race there... it's always fun getting everyone in place. Lots of "owww you're on my head!" and giggles as people try and get situated. It's a fun team exercise in itself! Ok - your turn. Drop a photo and tell us the backstory!
