Can row like rowing on a dragonboat... without getting wet or end up like Robinson Crusoe?

Think of it as a threadmill version of the dragonboat...

have you tried a concept 2 rower before?

If you haven't you're in for treat.

Oh it's a killer. Try it and you'll know. You'll get your ass kicked with 500m intervals. If not, you're good!
