A Glimpse Through Ken’s Lens: Worlds 2025 🌍🔥

While Team USA was charging down the lanes at the IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Brandenburg, Germany, Ken—husband of Houston Heat’s Eva and a longtime supporter of our club—was behind the camera, capturing it all.

His photos go beyond the action. From intense race shots to quiet reflections and joyful moments, Ken’s gallery tells the full story of the journey.

We’re incredibly proud of the athletes who represented Team USA and Houston in Germany—this was a true celebration of grit, teamwork, and heart. Thank you, Ken, for brining us along through your lens.

Let’s keep paddling forward!!. 💙🔥

🇺🇸 Team USA training camp in Houston! 🇺🇸
This past weekend, Houston proudly hosted the Team USA Senior A Mixed and Open Team Training Camp — and what an amazing few days it was! 🔥

As the local host club, Houston Heat provided boats and logistical support to help make the camp a success. Huge shoutout to Coach Jackson, Assistant Coach for Team USA Senior A mixed and open, for leading the charge right here in our home waters.

We were also excited to have paddlers from HH, IW, and L*D join the sessions — gaining valuable experience and inspiration training alongside the best in the country. 💪🐉

It was an intense, inspiring, and unforgettable weekend. Houston is honored to support Team USA on the road to the 17th IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Brandenburg, Germany this July. 🇩🇪 Wishing the entire team the very best of luck!

🎉 Happy Birthday to Our Fearless Leader, Coach Jackson! 🎉

Today we celebrate the one who always leads from the front (or back)—whether it’s calling out commands with unmatched intensity, pushing us to be our best at every practice, or reminding us to reach just a little further.

Coach Jackson, your energy, passion, and relentless drive are the fuel behind Houston Heat’s fire. You challenge us, motivate us, and keep us laughing (usually while yelling at us from the back).

Wishing you a birthday filled with smooth waters, strong strokes, and all the love from your paddling family. 🛶❤️
