This First Degree Fluid Rower is a fabulous exercise machine that effectively engages almost every muscles in the human body.

Direct Drive System

Our new Direct Drive System (patent applied) puts you in direct contact with the water. No chains or sprockets interrupt the smoothness of the rowing action. Using Dyneema® cable, the world’s strongest fiber™, we have developed a special pulley, attached to the central shaft of our Fluid Tank. As the Dyneema® cable unwraps from one end, the bungee recoil cord winds on from the other end. At the completion of each stroke, the process is reversed. All you feel is the resistance of water. All you hear is the sound of water. Perfect! Dyneema® is a super strong, polyethylene fiber that offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight. It is 15 times stronger than quality steel, on a weight for weight basis. Dyneema® is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals. It does not stretch, making it ideal for our application and delivering the smoothest, most positive and wear resistant cable available.
