How to Row Properly

If a typical day out on the lake for you involves a long strenuous kick fighting wind and waves to get back to the takeout, maybe you should try a boat with oars. They’re faster and more efficient, so you can do more fishing and less kicking.
Rowing is pretty simple, but with a few tricks up your sleeve, you’ll be able to maneuver your boat quickly and efficiently.

Good video! I’m getting my first inflatable pontoon soon really didn’t want to use swim fins to propel myself around.

[@BigDoeJ424]

You should do one on rowing in a river

7 ft. Oars on any thing less then 8 ft are of no use. I use 8 ft. On my 10 ft pontoon & works great. Ask a drift boater we know how to row.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

if you use the oars you use both oars and it will spin on a dime. Maybe it is an advanced technique but I have done it that way for over 50 years.

WOW!!!

[@sangwoolee9552]

thank you for teaching me how to paddle a inflatable boat!!!!

[@sangwoolee9552]

[@sangwoolee9552]

@Connor Sarll yea now I never knew how to paddle

[@jasondrummond9451]

He was teaching you how to row. Not paddle.

- Long strokes! - Row with your body, not only your arms! P.S. How long can you stay in that tight position? How long, that is, can your fishing day be?

[@CesarRamirez-uy4bc]

how easy is it to use the flippers on a boat like that?

[@Outcastboats]

Thanks for asking. It's pretty easy since the boat is lightweight and maneuverable. Flippers are mainly used to support turning or steering the craft while fishing. The oars are best for moving long distance or getting places quickly.

I just tried mine yesterday I put a 7in pedestal on mine I had trouble rowing. I'm going to bring fins next time.

[@Meerkat000]

Like you put a seat riser on? And the height didn’t allow you to row that well?

[@stevec5576]

Try 8 ft. Oars
