Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

That picture is even crazier than the first one. I want to try...

One day I will build a double-decker dragonboat (later, double decker Aranmula) and I will leave the entirety of DBW in awe.

Wow!  Talk about timing issues!  I don't think they'd ever allow this in North America - too many people and no pfd's!
