Slides
An accessory for all indoor rower models, the Slide adds an on-water feel to indoor rowing. For Models C, D, and E, the Slide also allows for team training.
Each Slide consists of a base with two tracks and a carriage with wheels that run on the tracks. Light bungee cord tension keeps the carriage centered on the base.
It takes two Slides to "float" an indoor rower—one Slide for the front leg and one for the back leg. To create a team boat, use the Slides to link multiple indoor rowers together (applies to Models C, D, and E Indoor Rowers only); simply add one more Slide for each additional indoor rower you would like to link.
Space Requirements
Sliding Single
To use a pair of Slides with one indoor rower, we recommend a space of 11' x 4'. This works on Models A, B, C, D and E Indoor Rowers.
Team Boats
To determine the space required for a multiple slide setup, use this formula:
(number of ergs x 8.5 feet) + 3.5 feet = length required
The Team Boat Slide works only on Models C, D and E Indoor Rowers.

Team Boat Slide
A great training tool for team-boat coaches to use in the off-season, the Slide makes indoor rowing feel more like rowing on the water and compels your athletes to row as a team.
Sliding Single
Set up as a sliding single, the indoor rower moves back and forth under the person rowing, more like rowing on the water. You get a quicker catch and can row at a higher stroke rate, because only the mass of the indoor rower is being moved and not that of the person rowing.
See both the team boat slide and sliding single in action in our Rowing on Slides video.
