Baseball, Pokémon and a drone show? Let’s go!
Many of us volunteered at this year’s Chinese New Year parade earlier this year and the organizers treated us to a “Volunteers thank you” lunch and bowling day. We bowled a ton of games and enjoyed some delicious food. Plus, we even snagged some raffle prizes. Who can resist those adorable Chinese-themed Hello Kitty plushes?
We had a great group of new dragon boaters join us during their trial period! They received personalized coaching from one of our coaches, and they all did amazingly! 👏
Many of our new participants from our friends and family day are excited to paddle in early November race. We’re looking for more people to join us on the boat. This race is designed to be welcoming to beginners!
The sound is sooo calming!
Our practices are at Lake Merced in San Francisco.
Just a friendly reminder to everyone who joined us for Friends and Family Day—you’re still in the Paddle-for-Free time period! Come back and join us again! Message us! 🧡

We got a lot of great feedback from our Friends and Family day! So happy.
Just a friendly reminder that you can always come paddle with us a few times without commitment to experience dragon boating. So, don’t miss out!
Our dragon boating community is full of amazing people! We’re so glad the sport gives us an active lifestyle and that it’s welcoming to everyone, no matter their age or size.
Our little Ripple Effect family is all about staying healthy, being active, and having experiences together!
