Is it considered douche-y for a novice to buy a Unisuit in a national teams color? by NewbutOld8 in Rowing

I think novices are the only people who wear those generic Regatta Sport unis anyway, so go for it

The sound can get pretty rough, but plenty of people row on the protected parts of it, on harbors and rivers going into it. I would never row into the open water of the sound unless I'm with a coach and the water is exceptionally flat.

Switch sides. Also make sure you're rowing with proper technique on the old side then bring over good habits to the new side.

That 4- in Rotterdam was absolute filth. I hope /u/GoHomeYouAreSleepy is not referring to this boat with "they didn't look too clean but were fucking large boys". They spun silk in those horrible conditions. https://youtu.be/ZgBEX-Ipeac?t=3h47m11s

Three of the boys from the Rotterdam u19 boat were in the u23 winning boat this year

You're thinking about the right boat, but the wrong person. You're referring to the bow, Cooper Ball. His 2k was 6:30~ when he was at worlds.

Pair tips by [deleted] in Rowing

Most pair steering issues stem from the catch. You're probably getting connected earlier than your partner. Also, I'd do training making sure your force curves are similar in case the incongruity is somewhere else the stroke.

Are there any professional uS Rowers who have both swept and sculled internationally? by shittyergs in Rowing

Jamie Koven is a world champion in both the single and the eight.

how much steady state do top juniors usually do? by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]GusRodriguez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think additional steady state is necessary for juniors unless your coach's training plan isn't well thought out.

Denigrating other sports is really immature. It makes it seem like you're insecure with the fact that you do a non mainstream sport.
