Hello. I'm Astrid from the Bay Area in California.

I took up dragon boat paddling in 2016 as a way to meet like-minded people and build connections. I’ve always loved being on the water, and joining a team sport seemed like the perfect way to immerse myself in a community. A year ago, I started OC paddling to improve my dragon boat skills, and in hindsight, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It combines my love for nature with staying active. The only challenge is juggling my busy schedule, which requires careful planning to make it all work.
