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

Hello! Those who are currently going through the Level 2 course. What night of the week works best for you for a call? It would be either 6 or 7 PM ET. Let us know what works via comments as well, so we can schedule a time that works the best. Paddles Up!

Hey everyone! I am Lora D from Philadelphia. I paddle with the Schuylkill Dragons and have been steering for a long time. I completed the Level 1 course in 2022 and am now taking the Level 2 course. I've been asked to steer in Taiwan this year for a Women's Sr.B/C Short boat team. I've done a number of 2K races in standard boats, but am nervous about the 2K in the short boat! Hoping this course will provide some info/pointers. Thanks

Hello! I’m new to this group and happy to be a part of it. I’m part of Ohio’s Dragon Dream Team, an all breast cancer survivor team. I’ve been paddling for 20 years 💪🏼 and have been “hobby” steering when the team needs someone to jump in. Time to get serious on steering protocol and safely as I look to still paddle but support the team as a “Assistant Coach in-training”. I look forward to learning from the best! Fun Fact: I’m heading to France in August to race in August. Thanks for welcoming me!

Standing on the back of the boat in extreme heat can be torture for a steerer. Has anyone ever worn a cooling vest? Do they work?
