The Dubai Dragon Boat Training scene came alive again under the glowing lights of Deira Creek on October 29, 2025. The Desert Falcons gathered for another high-energy evening session — one filled with rhythm, teamwork, and heart.
Wearing their signature Falcons Green jerseys, the team arrived early, ready to paddle hard despite a mid-week chill. Under the calm watch of Coach and Steerer Intan M, everyone knew it was going to be one of those focused, powerful Dubai nights on the water.
🚣♂️ Team Lineup and Setup
The Desert Falcons crew was solid as ever. Neil and JJ set the pace up front, supported by Mahmoud and Gin powering through the middle seats. Philip and Joven found their sync at the heart of the boat, while Dennis and NB1 kept their rhythm sharp. The backlines were manned by Zoe, IS, Mc, and a few new faces, ensuring balance and drive across the strokes.
It was a perfect mix of experience and fresh enthusiasm — a true reflection of how the Dubai Dragon Boat Team continues to grow and evolve every session.
🌊 Training Night at Deira Creek
As the clock struck 7:30 PM, paddles hit the water in unison. The training focused on endurance and timing — every stroke counted. The reflection of the city lights danced across the surface, adding a bit of magic to the night.
Coach IM guided the crew through a mix of long-distance paddles and power bursts. The water was calm, but the intensity was not. Every paddler gave their best, syncing up to create that signature Desert Falcon rhythm that has become their trademark in Dubai’s dragon boat scene.
🕒 Performance Tracking – Team Insights
The Falcons’ Strava reports painted a picture of teamwork and consistency. While distances varied slightly based on positioning and timing, the collective effort remained tight:

- Intan: 4,783m in 54m 31s
