ROW LIKE A PRO!
Maybe you just bought a boat, maybe you are thinking about it but want to know if it’s really for you, or maybe you just want to be more capable at the helm whenever you find yourself in the rower’s seat. Then our Drift Boat Rowing Instruction is for you.
There are many facets of rowing a boat that are very important to the enjoyment of the anglers in the boat. If you’ve ever tried to fish out of a poorly rowed boat then you know how frustrating it is when the paddles are not pulled properly. While rowing is not an intricate art, it is a counter-intuitive task where a little instruction goes a long ways.
Formerly just offered as a clinic once a year, we now offer Drift Boat Rowing Instruction throughout the year. A one day class is worthwhile, but the two day three night package is most ideal for covering most of the relevant topics.
