For the Masters Rower: The Competitive Edge
Masters rowing is the real deal, and every stroke counts during a race. Give your rower the competitive edge with a 20MM Boat Pad with Non-Slip.
Featuring a dual-density construction (firm foam on one side, soft foam on the other) with a layer of our proprietary non-slip textured rubber, this pad is sure to be a game-changer!
For the Wooden Boat Enthusiast: Comfort on the Water, Row or Sail
Sculls and shells are not the only boats you’ll find our seat pads propped inside. Owners of beautiful rowing and oar/sail boats like the 18-foot SeaBright shown here love how our seat pads provide comfort when they are rowing out to open water.
For the boat lover in your life, try Rowing Pad’s 20MM Soft ErgPad. With its soft foam and slightly larger seat base, this pad is a nice fit for a range of wooden boats. Now that you’ve been so thoughtful, maybe they’ll take you out for a ride?
For the Junior Rower: Big Dreams, Lanky Limbs
Young rowers often grow fast and furiously, which can lead to serious bouts of inflexibility. The extra height of a rowing pad can increase their range of motion so they can overcome tightness in the hips, hamstrings, and lower back and row a longer, more complete stroke.
Try our cult favorite 30MM Triple Decker Boat Pad with Non-Slip. The exclusive three-layer, soft/medium/soft, laminated foam pad provides maximum comfort and height without sacrificing stability. (This is especially useful for shorter teens or those with long legs and a short torso.)
For the Rowing Club: Boathouse Crew for Life
Spread the rowing cheer this year with a gift for the people who keep your spirits high, from those brisk early morning practices to busy weekend regattas!
Send us your club logo to make custom engraved pads for your boathouse. (With orders of 8 or more, engraving is free!) We can do a mix of boat and erg pads of different sizes and densities or go with a combo of crowd-pleasing 20MMs. Contact us directly for a quote!
For the “No Frills” Rower: Comfort + Grip in a Low-Profile Package
Maybe your rower is tall—statuesque even. So too much height in the seat would throw their rowing geometry out of balance. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t appreciate a little comfort on the erg, especially if their backside is low on padding.
For these rowers (our founder Victor is one), we created the slim 10MM Soft ErgPad with Non-Slip. All of the cushion, none of the height. No frills, just skills!
For the Coastal Adventurer: Chart a Course, Bring a Pad
Coastal rowing is such a popular sport, and we are so pleased to serve this segment of the rowing community! If the recipient on your list braves the choppy waves like our friend Tor Eneroth, they would surely appreciate some extra cushioning on the rear.
A 30MM Triple Decker ErgPad provides a wider base than our boat pads, and has been a big hit with our coastal adventurers. Wrap it up in a bow and pair with an expedition to Sweden…experience gifts are still in, right??
For the Ninth Seat: Vantage Is Valuable
We haven’t forgotten our wayfinders in the ninth seat! If the rower on your list is a coxswain, our newest pad is sure to be a big hit.
Designed specifically for the cox seat, Rowing Pad’s Coxswain Seat Pad with Non-Slip provides an elevated perch for expert navigation, a non-slip layer to keep things sturdy even when water splashes into the stern (or bow), and a laser-cut hole for a lanyard to carry the pad to and from the dock. (We even send a free Rowing Pad lanyard with the pad, but feel free to swap out from one with a club or school logo!)
For the Rowing Mate: Never Miss a Solid Pun
Wouldn’t it be nice for your rowing BFF to think of you every time they sit their butt down to row? Now they can! Seriously though, what better gift to the person you stroke with than a way to enjoy rowing EVEN MORE?
A Rowing Pad boat or erg pad provides ultimate comfort. With our easy personalization services, you can engrave your recipient’s name or nickname on the pad, or a favorite rowing team or club, a personal best, an inside joke…the possibilities are endless. It’s a special touch on a surefire hit of a gift.
For the Indoor Rowing Fan: If You Row, You Know
For some people, there is no “erg season”—the ergometer is a year-round passion. In fact, they’re probably on the erg, racking up those meters for a holiday challenge right now.
Rowing Pad’s 20MM ErgPad with Comfort Cutouts is specially designed to fit the ergometer seat and features relief holes to accommodate the sitz bones—a game-changer for long endurances pieces.
For the Rowing Coach
Let’s be honest: No gift can capture the debt we often feel we owe these most exceptional people, who inspire champions, instill confidence, and impart wisdom that sticks with us longer than most lessons we learned in school.
So what do you give the coach who brings their best every day? Something practical and personal—a reminder of your shared memories and a sincere token of appreciation. RowingPad offers engraved coasters and glassware, customizable with a team logo, name, or other important message. Contact us for a quote.
