We asked these paddlers to bring a friend to Sunday’s Open House, they said their friends are already here 🥹 (coach was moved but also deeply concerned.)
Anyway, we want more friends. So we are hosting an open house event to invite more people into the world of paddling. Note: it’s addictive.

Story time with Coach this morning, telling tales of paddling technique and race prep with Delite and Pink.

We love Sundays like this…😀
✅full squad present
✅breezy “cooler” weather
✅flat water
✅race prep

We are 27 days away from the 14th Annual dragonboat festival at Irving.

We are hungry and ready to go after it!!Today the team focused on locking down the start sequence.

Loved having community groups come practice with us. A friendly scrimmage motivates both teams to push a little harder on and off the water.
📣DFW companies and organizations that are racing at the Irving race this October, talk to us about extra practices. We’ve got coaches that can’t wait to yell at (train, yell at, ) you and your crew. Find us on Meetup!

Hi fam!

Local Dragon boaters to take on world LONE STAR DRAGONS By Cristine Kao The first team from Texas to ever compete at the US Dragon Boat Federation Nationals just did the unexpected — it won its first ever Division Championship to earn a berth on the world stage in 2024. Athletes and spectators witnessed something special this past wee...

A gorgeous sunset for a fun practice! 3min prices today into the wind (&surf back) focusing on techniques. You gotta love ending the day like this 😍

We just love summer days like this. Great workout with a great crew. Find us on Meetup!

We won some. And we lost some. But all in all, these DUCks came home with some blings and good stories to tell. Isn’t that what is all about?

While some team members were in Houston preparing for rest of the crew was doing their final prep for OKC race this coming weekend. Looking good crew!

A gorgeous evening to be out on the water. Focusing on our techniques today with long and steady pieces.

The team is working hard getting ready for our upcoming OKC PaddleFest Dragon Boat Festival. We train at every Wednesday and Sunday!

Safety first! With a thunderstorm just north of the city we opted for an impromptu on-land work out instead. 💪⚡️

We love side-by-side paddling - it’s a great opportunity to push ourselves and each other just a little bit more. You also can’t beat the gorgeous weather ☀️ and flat water. 🐲🛶

We may not know how to take the best selfies but we love to paddle 😂 we enjoy our sunset paddle every Wednesday - see you on White Rock Lake!

What a weekend!
3 of the Delite team members were representing Texas in Sarasota, bringing home the bronze medal.
Back home we had full boat as the team gear up for upcoming OKC regatta.
Join us! Our practice times are on Meetup https://meetu.ps/c/2DJ10/w6kLj/a

It was all smiles today as we host a group of 6th graders from the local community. What a great way to celebrate .

Thank you Austin Dragon Boat and Paddle Festival for a fantastic day of racing. Can’t wait for next year! 🐲🛶
