Practice Videos

We've added videos from our recent practices to the Gallery page. Please watch them so you can see how your timing is and compare your form with your teammates. It's much easier to improve your stroke if you can see yourself!

Paddling Style

There have been some questions about our paddling style. Please refer to this document for our style of paddling. This is the style we have been teaching at practices and the style we will be using during the upcoming race.

A boat with a uniform style is just as important as a boat with good timing: when everyone follows the same style everyone will be able to hit together, pull together, release together, and therefore win together.

In preparation of the November race, if you dont already have a team T-Shirt and Colin hasnt asked you what size you wear, please email him your t-shirt size. T-shirts cost $10 each and are a good way to build team unity at the race.

Practice Times

Practices will be held each Saturday morning. We meet at 9:30AM sharp (no Berkeley time!) at the Barrows parkinglot near Sather Gate and usually return between 12:30 and 1PM. Remember to bring water, a towel, and comfortable clothes that you wouldnt mind getting wet. Jeans are not recommended.

Paddles, PFDs, and other equipment is provided at the practice site.

If you can drive, please contact either Nancy Yan so that we can coordinate carpools to the practice site. Permanent drivers will be reimbursed!
