ROWonAIR Dude 18

Rowing Outdoors, Just Like Nature Intended.

 

Designed to work specifically with the ROWonAIR® Universal Rowing Units, the Dude 18 is an inflatable rowing I-board designed for performance rowing.

ROWonAIR I-boards are not flat bottom boards, they have a slight V-shaped bottom that aids with tracking and hydrodynamics to cut through the water. The Dude 18 is slightly wider (4”) than the Mojo 18, which makes the Dude 18 the perfect beginner board. Rest assured, the added stability is a welcome feature to all when rowing in choppy waters. You still get rowing shell handling and performance but with a little extra stability. The Dude 18 is easily stowed away and comes with a backpack, repair kit, fin, pump, and strap.

The Dude 18 can be purchased as a standalone board, or preconfigured with ROWonAIR’s exclusive RowVista®, or RowMotion® (with or without oars) rowing units.

Dude 18 Features & Innovations

The Dude is effectively the same board as the Mojo, but 4” wider. This means you get all of the same great performance features that the Mojo has to offer but with just a bit more safety and security. For this trade-off, the Dude is the most popular board people choose to row on. This beginner friendly board is the perfect row trainer for anyone getting into the sport.
