Best way to release the water during the extraction

The way you release the water at the end of the drive can be likened to the way an archer release the string of his bow. After the drive you have given the boat energy to run in the same way as the archer gives the arrow energy to fly. We believe our extraction is the most effective and easiest to learn.

In our Technique series, we plan to do detailed videos on each part of the stroke. In this video we only look at the preparation for, and execution of the extraction.

Together with this we will bring you content from all aspects of rowing, including, fitness and training, health and longevity, tips, trick and hacks.
