General Question
Does your dragon boat team have official drummer requirements? If so, what are they?
0 likes • 14h
This is a really great question. It would be very interesting to learn how other teams train this. I know when I paddled with PDX as a guest a couple years ago I was quite surprised that they call the practice from the front of the boat (drummer as coach) and the steersperson (the call the sweep) says almost not a word! I both liked and did not like that. I will say the enthusiasm from the drummer/caller during practice was igniting!!
Favorite Race Venues
I was curious what everyone’s favorite race venues have been? What did you like best about it? Was it the location, viewing areas, the vibe of the place?

@Tina Giangrande these are definitely all things we are seeking when picking favorite venues!
Who are my fellow Barefoot steerers?
I find that steering barefoot gives me more gripping capabilities for increased stability. However, after a longer practice (75 to 90 min) my feet start to hurt. Any suggestions on steer shoes that still provide foot grip?

I have tried all different shoes when steering. Within 10 minutes I CAN’T!! My feet hurt so bad unless I am barefoot. I’m so glad to have found this thread. Last night I was sure switching to lace up tennis shoes would be the answer! It only made it worse because taking them off was tough! I’m going to try crocs next practice.

Oh rats! I didn’t realize this when I joined. I’m sure at least 4 of us joined because of her recommendation. Regardless, I am glad to have been directed here.
