I saw this challenge and thought what a fun thing to do... row from Big Ben in London (UK) to the Eiffel Tower in Paris (France). It is a 485 mile journey for a crew of 12 starting Sunday 9th May 2010.

"I had always used a C2 rower in the gym and thought nothing could be better. I then decided to purchase a rowing machine for home use. The shop assistant asked me to try the WaterRower, and I have never looked back. It just felt "right". It is smooth and a pleasure to use. I would or could not ever use another indoor rower other than water rower.
It looks great, it really is like a piece of "fancy" furniture. It stores so well standing up. It is much quieter that the concept 2 which is great for my partner and I, as we live in a unit. The web-site is also user-friendly and there are some great links on it. It is simply the best way to get fit, loose weight and challenge yourself each day with different programmes. Oh, and the printable exercise logs are an awesome way to track your progress."
"I been aware of the aerobic and overall physical conditioning of rowers for years. But I had not seen a rower that would convince me. When I saw the WaterRrower I was sold."Those just a few of the comments we have received lately. If you have not registered yet, please do so soon and tell us what you do or don't like about our machine, or give us a suggestion.

Have wanted a rowing machine for years, my wife purchased the WaterRower for me because of its aesthetics (wooden). I think she made a fantastic choice on more of a technical level, but we all love it."
