doubles, pairs and singles are awesome. get in a boat by yourself, youll learn a lot about balance.

Wow... I never would have thought there are other rowers either.

I just started rowing for Lehigh, been doing it for just over a month and had my first regatta saturday.

I rowed in lehigh A boat in the 2v8 and lehigh B in the Novice 4's. In the four on our second pass, we walked on f&m's boat and put almost a boat-length of water on them. It was awesome, even though we went nuts and I ripped my palm open.

I rowed singles and crews for school.  Picking it back up on the weekend for a club.
Apparently singles is relaly good for skiing because it works everything inclduing your core and legs.

I rowed for 2 years for CRI and it was the most miserable experience of my life. Rowing is just a painful sport, there is nothing fun about it.

my friends are all really into rowing, they go to henley, charles, etc.  they're all at some regatta down in portland right now.  most of my friends row for greenlake crew in seattle, and a few others row at mount baker crew too.
i rowed at greenlake for one summer but didn't like it all that much so i quit.  i'm glad i did, it has the potential to be the most time consuming activity in the world.
one of my friends has ns, i'll get him to post on this thread.
