We originally started this community as a steering hub, but both Joann and I also love coaching paddlers and developing new coaches. So, over the coming months, we will be adding resources in both those realms. And we'd like YOU to help us shape that. So, tell us in the comments what you want the most support or training in! Answer the poll then expand in the comments. Which of these would you like to see us add next?

Crashes and capsizes on the race course can happen, especially in a 2K race. In the comments below, tell us how you'd handle this scenario. If this HAS happened to you while you were steering, tell us how you handled it and what you'd do differently (if anything).

In the comments below tell us: 1. The steps you'd take to get ready for steering a race.   2. How you'd prepare for a 200 m vs a 2k.

Are you paddling IDBF CCWC 2026 in Hualien, Taiwan on Lake Liyu in Aug/Sept? I raced there last October at their international dragon boat festival with the Oakland Renegades. Feel free to review this Google Album with photo's from the event: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uY1XhSJFax3Q28E46

What are your clubs/crews planning (or plotting) this summer? World domination? Something else? Maybe that's a new race, or a new race category. Or you're trying a different recruitment method. Or a new newbie program. Tell us all the things that are getting you excited for the 2026 season!
