COACHING, COMPETITION & SURF SKILLS
:As rowers propel the boat through the water they become one with the sea. Salt spray lingers over the low rumble of the approaching wave zone. The Sweep with steely nerves and strained muscles expertly steers the boat onto a foaming crest and calls “come aft”. Harmoniously the rowers lay back and let their oars trail beside the boat. In unison the crew stealthily move towards the back of the boat. The energy of the breaking wave shoots their craft forward. Enjoyment illuminates faces as the Sweep steers to the beach synchronising with the force of whitewater, wind and current.”
