Slim, I sure ain't a racing sardine.
Several years ago my wife and I went out in a double and that just about bought us to blows..... She was in stroke and I was all power and no grace, we've both learnt who has what strengths and now that I've developed a better technique with less emphasis on power we can actually get the boat moving well....without wanting to divorce each other after a row.....LOL
I have modified my style quite considerably which is why in all our boats I tend to stroke oar because I can control the slide a lot better than most without loosing power. LOVE MY SPORT!
Vince don't knock it and give it a go theres plenty of Masters crews out there and they're always looking for new blood so to speak. With your rivers in Brisbane there will be any number of clubs. I saw at least 5 crews out when I was over there earlier this year and most of them looked like they were there to have fun.

those skinny tyres look fast but man I bet the bumps in the road hurt...

Not that bad, really I don't run them at max press (130) i usually just put in 100 and that makes everything feel great. The carbon does a great job on dampening any vibration that makes it past them and the leather seat takes care of the rest. I have gel under the bar tape for the other interface. Just like anything though the more you do it the better your body adapts to it.

isn't a 'boat' not a submarine? Not so easy to paddle...
but when the going gets tough...

I have always derived a lot of pleasure stroking the oars in a rowboat Radar, but as for getting into a crew in sculls...I don't think that is for me mate. There are no shortage of clubs here in Brisbane, but without a private school background I don't know how I would fare getting into one mate.

yeah, who cares hijack away. I originally bolded this to get Stovey's attn but didn't want to exclude anyone else that may be interested, If there is such a thing as "OTHER" in "SPAM" this is definelty it.
