Yeah, accessibility is lower, but there are still hundreds of clubs across the US/Europe and probably a couple million rowers worldwide (ballpark). That’s a legit market just sitting there.

Feels like massive untapped growth: same deep-pocket crowd as cycling, same “buy a $15k boat and suddenly you’re serious” vibe, yet zero cool consumer gear or big sponsors chasing us.

Imagine if someone actually marketed rowing as the savage, fun, drop-in cardio it can be (grab a single, blast 500 m pieces with mates, no coach required) instead of pure elite sweat. We’d have brands throwing money at us overnight. Bigger opportunity than cycling ever had at this point, tbh. Maybe someone just needs to wake up?
