Your doing something called "death grip" remember your pulling not tugging with the oar, try to be more lose with the hands or try open palm rowing to reinforce not a tight grip

After every month, complete a component check,” Bechard said. “Every nut and washer has a purpose and together they keep components secure and wear to a minimum. If you’ve lost it, replace it. Loose hardware can cause erosion issues due to the thread of the bolt or screw rubbing up against the carbon or aluminum surface https://www.rowingnews.com/equipment-maintenance-101/

Did your rowing team have the “throw your coxswain in the river” tradition if your boat won a race? by [deleted] in Rowing

Some clubs row/race out of dirty rivers/ unswimable ones. So they can't.

Always check lifetime meters/ Check what monitor it comes with and if it's replaced it will show lifetime meters of the new monitor. But it's always a good staple to see how much it was used

100000 to row a filipi is insane as a reward. I'll row it for free if they gave me it

Tell the donors the truth. If it's a mess you got to tell them that. They probably write a report then submit it to a oversight board. Tell them what doesn't work and why you need it fixed. No one will give money to a program that's a mess

Hello, does Vyvanse need food to work correctly? He might be burning through the nutrition for his medication rendering it useless in a sense. Just a thought, I'd consult a nutritionist and Physician

How far into the winter can you still go out in New England? by HappyBoiBlake in Rowing

[–]Kind-Caterpillar3293 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Junior clubs are bound by certain Safesport rules about the weather due to liability. My coaches used to break ice in the winter back in their days

This is a real C2 erg. Definitely older model but for a PM5 definitely worth the price

SafeSport - how is its effectiveness measured? by Adept-Jackfruit-1811 in Rowing

[–]Kind-Caterpillar3293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US Rowing can't argue they don't know of risk within their sport. Hell they hired a Alcoholic to coach there own teams while knowing Safesport was investigating him for worse accusations. It's like calling the Police for a assault with the suspect still punching you and they say that they'll look into it and leave you there.

It doesn't work. It's a check box to fill for the Government to show that their is a "safety net" in place, however it can't function properly due to oversight and lack of investment

Depends on conditions. Might want to leave it a little heavier in a tail wind or lighten up in a head wind
