We are so proud of our paddlers. You guys worked super hard and you bring so much to the team on and off the water! Congratulations to JT, Barry, Rich and Annie for making it onto Team USA. But I'm also super proud of Noriko and Harry for trying out also and were so extremely close to being part of the crew. Its a priviledge to coach all off you! SAKE wishes you all the best and lots of luck on your Worlds campaign with Team USA.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🫶
We’re beaming with pride as several elite paddlers from Club SAKE Dragon Boat and Paddling Club have earned their spots on Team USA! These athletes will now represent the United States at the next IDBF World Dragon Boat Championships in Germany in just a few days. 🌍🔥
Founded in 1996, Seattle SAKE is the oldest and largest dragon boat club in the region. They’ve grown into a powerhouse, supporting paddlers of all levels—from beginner to international competitors—across dragon boat, outrigger canoe (OC6), and SUP disciplines. Practices are held year‑round at Leschi South Moorage on Lake Washington, with rigorous sessions twice weekly plus racing-focused extras in season
What makes SAKE special is not just their competitive success but their thriving, all‑inclusive community. Members span ages 20 to 80+, and the club champions mental, physical, and emotional wellness—whether you’re competing or paddling for fun.
