We have just revealed the upcoming ROWonAIR product line and everyone seems to be as excited as we are about it! I will be updating this post as information becomes available about pricing and a release date.
ROWonAIR is a new product line that is being made by Row&Sail, the same company that makes XCAT. It is set to launch some time in September, but we wanted to take a few minutes to go over what information we do have.
Here is some information that we just found out today!
ROWonAIR will be offering two rowing styles:
RowVista - High tech forward facing rowing
RowMotion - Classical reverse rowing
ROWonAIR can be used on your own SUP/boat or on one of our high quality skiffs, kayaks or SUP.
The Universal Rowing Skid which can be adapted to fit on any SUP or flat board. This will allow people that want to row but already have a SUP they like to convert their SUP to a rowing shell. The skid attaches via straps that make fitting it perfectly to any SUP to be simple and effortless.
Here is a bit of information for each boat:
AIRSKIFF 17 - The Inflatable skiff for the performance-oriented sculler
This board is FAST. It can be rowed or paddled at a faster pace than the XCAT itself!! It will also be in the color scheme of the XCAT and ROWonAIR. Like the SUP it will fit nicely in its included backpack.

SUP 14 - The inflatable SUP board for sculling at any skill level
The SUP is a drop-stitch inflatable paddle board with an unparalleled build and material quality. This board will be in the color scheme of XCAT and ROWonAIR (which is very unique) and the board will measure in at about 14' which is a little longer than your average SUP and will fit nicely inside its included backpack.

Slider 485 - The inflatable kayak for the all-around multi-use watercraft. Perfect for up to 3 people. Enough space for family and friends to join you, ideal for longer trips requiring more luggage. Despite the increased capacity, it is still a very fast and agile craft!
The Slider 485 is a drop-stitch inflatable kayak. This kayak is as fast as the XCAT under oar power. The Slider can be rowed or paddled by 1-2 people (that's right I just said it can be rowed by doubles)! This kayak is a little longer than most at just under 16' long! It is not flimsy like other inflatable kayaks, it is high pressured, so it will feel like a hard kayak, but will store away nicely in any car. I haven't gotten word if this comes with its own backpack, but it might!

We are incredibly excited about this line of products. We think it could be a money saver for new and growing rowing programs both for schools and clubs! It's not every day you can get a boat you can practice doubles on, then pack away in the trunk of a car!
