Concept2 Employees Learn to Scull
Concept2 is full of athletes. Some of these athletes come from the core sports of our business like rowing, Nordic skiing and cycling. Others are CrossFitters, runners, equestrians, golfers, snowboarders and tennis players. For the employees who haven’t spent much time in a boat, we make sure to offer the opportunity each summer. This year, we headed up to Craftsbury Sculling Center so that our employees with less experience behind the oar could try rowing.
Oar and scull grips are the athlete’s connection to the oar. Comfort and security are important as the athlete suspends from the oar and feathers on the recovery. Concept2 offers seven different materials in varying diameters. 
Summertime is the time of year we get to bring our fitness outside after a winter of training on the ergs. That is, of course, unless the temperature reaches the 90s (F) and the humidity goes up and it begins to rain. As much as we want to play and exercise outdoors, sometimes the weather forces us back inside to the ergs.
