ROWonAIR Rowing Boards

Dude 18
The ROWonAIR Dude 18 is an inflatable rowing I-board, which means the hull shape has a 4º V-bottom. This board will provide an authentic rowing experience but with a bit more stability.

Air Kayak 16
A high-sided inflatable rowing shell designed for multi-person rowing performance. Long and narrow, the ROWonAIR Air Kayak 16 is a perfect fit for 1-3 people, and its streamlined hull shape glides effortlessly through the water. With the purchase of a pair of kayak paddles this boat can serve double duty as a tandem kayak.
Lite 15
The smallest I-board in the ROWonAIR lineup. This 15 foot board is the perfect solo rowing platform for a rower that doesn’t need the added weight of the longer and heavier options. The Lite 15 can be used as a high performance SUP or sit-on kayak.
What exactly are RowVista and RowMotion?
What exactly is RowVista?
The innovative RowVista forward rowing system provides the same performance as traditional rowing configurations, but with an entirely new experience. Facing the direction you are going allows you to correct your course more easily and gives you more control over your boat and oars. The patented blade feathering will make RowVista the rowing setup of your dreams.
Row Forward with RowVista
With traditional rowing, you are pulling the boat backward, and your line of sight is in the opposite direction in which you are traveling. With RowVista, you are pulling the boat forward, and your line of sight is forward, the direction you are headed, much like driving a car or operating a powerboat! When moving along, the wind will blow in your face instead of the back of your head, making your time on the water more enjoyable and increasing your endurance. Hard stops prevent you from over-feathering or over-squaring the blades for a perfect stroke every time.
What exactly is RowMotion?
Traditional rowing has been a boat propulsion stalwart since the dawn of boats. The human body burns more calories per minute of rowing than any other sport, including swimming, running or climbing stairs. it is low impact and will keep an old body young. RowMotion brings the traditional rowing motion to the realm of portability. Store your new inflatable scull under your bed or in a closet!
Enjoy Classic True-to-Sport Rowing with RowMotion
The classical RowMotion system allows you to enjoy the age old sport of rowing anywhere in the world. The rowing skid can handle any size rower with fully adjustable oarlock positioning and height. This is the perfect take home row trainer for any junior or master rowers looking to practice when away from the club.
