Traditionally, rowing has been a “serious” sport, driven by the needs of athletes only. Rowing boats for recreation have – quite simply – never existed. The Wave Cutter will open up waterways for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Most recreational rowers are returning to the sport having once rowed at college or a club. But even if you haven’t rowed before you’ll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the skill when you choose a Wave Cutter. One of the problems with rowing in conventional boats is that it is only fun when the water is very flat.
However most waterways will have times when the water is wavy or lumpy (sometimes more often than not). For instance, Sydney Harbour is a delightful place to row, but the ferries create wash. Bays and estuaries often succumb to a wind wave. Rivers that generally have flat water may have motor boats and jet skis that create wakes and washes. Tidal rivers can produce a standing wave.
When you choose a Race1 Wave Cutter you will truly enjoy every outing.
