A Competitive, Inclusive Dragonboat Team comprised of Lesbians, Queer Women, Trans Persons, Non-Binary Persons, and Female Allies of the LGBTQIA+ Community.
Our team cultivates camaraderie, good sportsmanship, community outreach, and positivity.
Dragonboating is the ultimate team sport where boats with synchronicity, trust, and blend can overtake other boats that may have more strength but less unity. Quietly working together, week after week, with consistency, intensity, and drive helps us glide across the finish line and make waves- 22 bodies with one Amazon heart.
Hey, we might not look pretty by the time we get there but we show up! Hope your week has been kind to you and you move through your workday with minimal explosions before it’s time to get on the water 🤯🫠😵💫
We will always love you, Dolly. What an example of a life well lived that pushed past all perceived or assumed limits and still had the strength to lift the whole world up with generosity and radical kindness. 💔👑
Let’s not let that stack get too high…🥞🫠
One of the best things about Portland is its dragonboat community- we had fun helping Erica serenade a Rose City Renegades paddler yesterday on their birthday 🎉
Leave your recc in the comments… it’s a long race we’re gonna need a couple… 😅🎤💪
Amazons are making waves internationally for the rest of the month! Our team is spending this week cheering on our coach, Jenine, and teammate, Kerri, as they compete at the 2026 International Va’a World Sprints in Singapore this week.

We have a lot of feelings- and thus we have A LOT of muscles. The secret to Amazon strength? Our hearts 🫶😅💪🫠

Here is the update you’ve been waiting for, Amazons!
Your race fees for Portland have been fully paid by your Always an Amazon siblings! Now it’s our turn to live up to their legacy and show them what these two boats can do.
Roster is announced Sunday. Two boats, one very big heart across space and time ❤️
No matter the challenge, Amazons will compete with full intensity. Flashback to the fruit-by-the-foot challenge at the RoseFest afterparty. Many different strategies were observed…
