Sculling a Fluid Design Blue Max for the first time

So here's how to get into one of these gorgeous 26' long and 11" wide carbon fiber single rowing shells (29 lbs) and today's first-time moments of my sweet bliss on water, blades up and all...
Thanks Doug Cody for being an amazing coach these past four days!

That’s Doug, right? At FRC? He’s great. 👍 Good job getting out there! (EDIT: I should have read the description. I agree Doug is amazing!)

Hello Nina Thank you for the video. I am currently in discussion with Fluidesign to acquire one of their boats. My fear is that I may not have enough experience to handle it. I have been rowing for 3 years but on a much more stable skiff. How difficult was the Fluid to balance, not knowing your previous experience as a rower...)?? Thank you! Bernard

I liked it! I would def try it out before purchasing it. Florida rowing center and other places offer that opportunity I think.

She can't row and you put her in a Fluid?

It's like one of the easiest shells to balance

Scull row is a single oar or blade

Nice to scull on a mill pond and not the tideway
