Used these oars on a multi-day drift trip in the Pacific Northwest. The balance and flex are excellent, and the tip holds up well against rocks. Much more comfortable than previous oars I’ve used.
Dan Pullman –
Good for long rowing sessions. The weight is light and the blade stays sharp. A bit stiff in cold water, but overall reliable.
Dorothy Nolan –
Perfect for river guides. The tapered shaft gives a smooth feel, and the laminated construction feels solid without being heavy.

Felt a noticeable difference in fatigue after 6 hours of rowing. The responsive flex helps maintain rhythm during long stretches.
