Stronger, Deeper, Harder: A Dragon Boater’s Wet Dream

Admit it, we’ve all been there. We’re on the boat, the coach says something completely innocent, and we all giggle just a little under our breath. Why? Paddling is filled with hilariously warped statements and commands that are actually 100% paddle-related. To an outsider, they sound twisted. Downright perverted. And yes, they make us laugh.

So, in honor of Friday, and spring, here are a few dragon boat sayings to make you laugh and brighten your day. Enjoy!

– Give me 2 more inches
– Lower your hand on the shaft
– Do you mind stroking for us?
– Don’t pull out too soon
– Pull out sooner, you’re getting me wet
– It’s really tight back here
– You’re holding the shaft too tight, relax your grip
– Dig it deep and feel the glide
– Power finish now!
– Don’t bob your head
– Give it to me!
– Take it in slow and careful with the head
– Close your eyes and feel the rhythm
– Pull it out at the same time as the guy in front of you
– Do you have any wax for my shaft?
– Loosen your grip, it’s too tight on the shaft
– I have a blister on my butt
– You’re pulling out too soon and it’s splashing me
– Lift your butt cheek when you reach, it helps you to thrust more
– Deeper, harder, stronger, faster
– Dig!
– No pussy grips!
– Keep it long
– Open up and show your partner your chest
– Long and strong
– We’re a bit front heavy
– We’ll do a wet start

If you have more, I’d love to hear them!

    Just found your blog through a friend. I’m a virgin paddler at the youthful age of 40. It’s helpful and hilarious… from Trinidad

    We heard a new one tonight at training, one with a distinct Australian flavour…coach said “I want you to get right up ‘er” meaning paddle right under the armpit of the paddler in front…one for your list

  5. Michaela Avis says:

    Don’t forget the ‘reach around’, that is into the armpit of the paddler in front.

  6. Natalie T says:

    We have a saying in our club “Don’t let your middle leg flop around”!

  7. Vicki says:

    Coach once said…

    No teabagging (the paddle)

  8. KH says:

    “If its not in all the way it doesn’t count” Talking about the paddle

  9. Patty Dawsoj says:

    Active rest….our coach doesn’t allow us to stop paddling while doing drills. He has named it the Jody special.

    “There’s a rush coming from the back” “there’s a jerk in the back” “use your back and get down”
