It's fun and you'll make great friends, but the biggest benefit of Online Rowing is the motivation you get to keep rowing. That's why it's such a huge success, with over 150,000 boats now past the finish line. Try it. You'll love it.
If you've never rowed online before, you're in for a real treat. RowPro enables you to row online with other people all round the world in real time.
Online Rowing is fun, addictive, and a great way to keep yourself rowing long term. Some quick facts:
Under the Oarbits hood there's some very classy technology.
It's fast and accurate enough to hold serious world-class online regattas like the British Online Rowing Championships. And it's also simple enough for anyone to use at home.
All you do is join an online row, check in, chat with the others who will be rowing online with you, and row. Each online row can have up to 16 boats, so you'll meet plenty of people.
In the text chat before and after each row, you'll soon get to know others well, and you'll quickly realize what a great bunch of folks they are. Online Rowing is motivation at its best.
Each boat and rower on your RowPro display moves exactly the way they are rowing in the real world. Each boat is correctly positioned within +/- the width of a bow flag, and each stroke reflects the exact stroke the rower is doing on their erg.
So what are you waiting for? Maybe it's time you joined the fun.
