So you can go home and remember what to practice and what to adjust.
During the Sculling Camp, we fine-tune your single scull to fit you, so you are set free to work with your technique, instead of struggling with how to find the right adjustments.
It becomes much easier for you to find your confidence when you know that the boat it correctly set.
Therefore we measure your boat in every detail so you can get home and adjust your single scull.
Measures are Span, Heel depth, Gate height, Pitch, Stretcher position, Oar length and much more.
What kind of drill do I need to do when I train for my self in my single?
That is a question we get often. So to help you at home, you get a list of drills to practice, that we see will help you the best.
So when you get home, you should have less doubt in what kind of drills you should practice.
As a single scull rower, you always need to work on something to get better – if you want to of course.
During the sessions, you will be asked to try to do adjustments to how you either handle the boat or move hands, arms, drive, etc. You will also be explained during the video session, why the specific way you row makes the boat go faster or slower.
What can be very difficult, is to remember all the stuff, why we give you a list of areas to improve, so you can get home and continue to improve.

I have participated in the sculling camp from the very beginning. The sculling camp have help me to get a better understanding of the stroke and where I have to improve ind order to move the boat in most efficient way.
The coaches do know what they are talking about, and they can show you on the water and in the classroom what they are talking about.
Besides learning how be a better rower it is also nice to spend 4 days in Avizagua in company with other rowers.
I’ve been three times to the Rojabo sculling camp in Portugal (Avis).
Jakob and his partner have a coach’s ability to quietly observe and quickly identify key areas for stroke improvement and then are able to select simple words and phrases that make sense for me as a sculler. We have, in particular, spent time working on the catch (speed of entry, connection), and by indicating small adjustments the coaching has enabled me to make significant improvements.
Rojabo’s style is fun, but also reflective and thoughtful, and the way in which suggestions are made, and language is flexed or adapted to help the sculler really understand what’s intended, builds confidence and creates lasting “images” that are easy to remember. As such, the impact of the coaching even over a relatively brief session is significant and lasting.
Add to this a wonderful environment, good accommodation, and good company and I would not hesitate to recommend the Rojabo experience!
