What users love about FlowRow
Almost like rowing on real water
Thank you for the amazing FlowRow Board. We are very happy with it. It’s a really nice add-on to the rowing machine – it almost feels like being in the boat. Greetings from two happy customers.
— Pascal & Ellen, Belgium
Beautiful craftsmanship and great first impression
I am really impressed by the beautiful quality of the boards and craftsmanship. Everything was perfectly packaged and arrived in tip-top shape. After only 10 minutes I already felt like the ‘training wheels’ wouldn’t be necessary anymore – very encouraging.
— Victoria Street, USA
Great invention for balance and motivation
The FlowRow board is a great invention. The black lacquered wooden boards look very nice and classy and boast a neat finish. The recesses for the rowing ergometer fit perfectly – bravo! Thanks also for the included Allen key, which makes fitting the rubber elements really easy. I particularly appreciate the grid between the board and the damper, as it effectively prevents twisting. Great! As an ambitious senior rower, the FlowRow board helps me to improve my balance skills for rowing in the boat. What's more, the FlowRow board is simply fun and therefore a good motivational aid.

Perfect for restoring balance after sweep rowing
Love these wobble boards. They help me balance out my body after having rowed sweep for too many years. Much more like a single but in the safety and comfort of solid ground. Beautifully made as well. Would highly recommend.

Added a fun challenge to my rowing
Ordered FlowRow after seeing this on YouTube. I was looking to 'up' my game and add another dimension to rowing. This not only did it, but the workout to my core and balance was immediately noticeable. Also added to my seeing how the slightest change in posture affected the outcome of my exercise. Honestly, it not only challenged me, but added back a fun factor. Hope you enjoy the FlowRow as much as I am. I coupled the FR with the accessory slide available from Concept2.

Smart engineering and real improvement in rowing
FlowRow boards are great. I have had them about 14 months and they have helped improve my rowing. They also add to the movement experience.
Also, as an engineered piece of equipment they are brilliant, great quality. They are perfectly sized, fit exactly on the Concept2 mat and they also stop the rowing machine moving or slipping on the mat, no matter how hard I row. They have many levels of wobble variation so you can progress all the way to 'Pro' and 'Ultra' and fine tune with the number of rubber pads between the balance boards. This product has been thoroughly thought through and tested – it works!

Addicted to daily rowing at 73
The WaterRower was already a blessing for me – but with the FlowRow Board I’ve become addicted to my daily hour ‘on the water’ for the past 2 years. At 73, I row 10–13 km every day – and many of my peers wonder why I’m still so fit.
— Ernst Gumrich, Germany
Must-have for balance and lifelong rowing
As a lifelong rower, the FlowRow Board is a real win – especially in my early 70s, when balance is becoming more and more important. I use the board regularly and recommend it to both beginners and experienced rowers in our rowing club in Kaufering. It has enriched my training routine and adds great value for rowers.
— Frank, Rowing Club Kaufering, Germany
Beautiful design, fun and meditative training
I’m thrilled with my new FlowRow rowing machine! It’s just fun to row with it: you hear the water rushing, it rocks a little like being on real water, and you can either train with full power and music or row meditatively. It also looks beautiful, fits in any room, and doesn’t need electricity!
— Elsbeth von Känel, Switzerland
Rowing becomes muscle and brain training
Brilliantly simple product that takes ergo rowing to another dimension. Not only the micro-muscles but also the sense of balance are engaged. Ergo rowing as both muscle and brain training.
— Stephan von Petersdorff-Campen (Google Review)
Back pain reduced, spine more stable
I bought the FlowRow Board for my WaterRower to better train the deep muscles in my lower back.
Despite trying various previous training methods, my back problems kept getting worse, often leaving me almost immobile from the pain.
Since training on the FlowRow Board, I feel a clear stabilization of my spine that I had never achieved with any other training device or method.
On top of that, the training is fun – and Andreas provides excellent customer service.

Adjustable and fun for every level
A very good addition to the rowing machine. The training is fun and effective. I also really like the option of adjusting the board for each training level.
— Rainer Dauer (Google Review)
Must-have accessory for every Concept2
This is an absolutely essential accessory for my Concept2. Even without the Slides, rowing is at least twice as much fun. Not a luxury product, but a must-have! A brilliant invention.

Strengthen your back and enjoy
Ideal addition to the rowing machine. The core muscles are noticeably strengthened. Strengthen your back and have fun – it doesn’t get better than this!
— Michael K. (Google Review)
Feels like real rowing – and fun
Without any lengthy set-up, I put my rower directly on the new FlowRow boards. From the beginning it worked great and there is a whole new rowing feeling on the concept-2. It is relatively stable when at rest, but as soon as you row you really have to sit upright to keep the balance. Slight movements of the toes help to balance the boat (sorry: the concept-2). I find the body feeling amazingly similar to rowing, especially during the pre-roll and in the front reversal of motion. I ordered the board according to the recommended stiffness chart for my body weight and rowing experience; the package includes extra rubber pads to adjust the stiffness. Without the rubber pads, it feels a bit wobbly, and I really have to focus on technical exercises during the workout such as balancing or loose water grabbing. When I add 1 to 2 rubber pads per side, I find the stiffness suits a longer workout and the difference with the regular rower is that I improve my body control during the workout. It's a great add-on to the concept-2 rower and it's fun to work out with.

No more morning back pain
I am absolutely delighted with the FlowRow Board.
I definitely won't row without the boards again.
I control my balance subconsciously. But when I consciously concentrate on more than just rowing, I notice that my feet are keeping my balance right up to my buttocks. As a result, I actually felt a little sore in my legs and butt the next day.
I bought the WaterRower 8 years ago, after I had somewhat recovered from a slipped disc. The rowing machine helped me a lot. As I also play tennis, I usually wake up in the morning with minor back pain, which disappears within the next 1–2 hours.
Now that I use the FlowRow Boards every day, the morning pain has disappeared!
I'm really glad that you invented and developed these boards. It feels like a new piece of sports equipment.

Excellent support and premium quality
Andreas Pirscher from FlowRow is an experienced rower and rowing trainer, who went out of his way to help me get started with the set of FlowRow Boards that I bought from him. The product is very solidly made of high quality materials. It fits my WaterRower just perfectly. Highly recommended!
— Marjolein Hoekstra (Google Review)
Quick, generous and top quality service
Top service! My incorrectly ordered item was exchanged very easily and generously. The quality of the materials is excellent.

Fantastic training and first-class service
FlowRow is simply fantastic! It takes training to a whole new level! On top of that, the service is first-class and their commitment to customer satisfaction is remarkable. The products are of the highest quality and the team is so friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend FlowRow – a great experience from start to finish!

Stronger back and better technique
I am thrilled with the FlowRow Board. I row with the WaterRower A1, and the FlowRow Board makes rowing on the ergometer even more challenging, especially when it comes to developing good and consistent rowing technique. I can clearly feel that my lower back muscles have to work harder to stabilize the ergometer. With the FlowRow Board, indoor rowing feels even closer to rowing on the water. For me, the FlowRow Board is truly a great enrichment to my indoor rowing training.
— Michael Laux (Google Review)
Excellent service and fast exchange
The FlowRow Board is a great addition to the Concept2 – rowing feels almost like being on the water. The service was excellent: I had ordered the wrong board, but it was exchanged quickly and without any problems. I’m absolutely delighted.
— Holger Bartelsen (Google Review)
Real on-water feeling at home
Every serious rower should have a FlowRow Board. It brings the experience of rowing in your home so much closer to the feeling of being out on the water. It is hard in the beginning but I would never go back to rowing on my ‘static’ WaterRower. As an added bonus, using the FlowRow Board, you will build up your core muscles and enhance your cognitive skills. It is such a simple innovation but makes a huge difference. Well done!
— Peter Varnai (Google Review)
Back training made fun
Great device. Strengthening my back has become really fun with it.
— Heinz Debevec (Google Review)
Deep core workout and pure fun
Great product! An ideal addition to the rowing machine. The deep core muscles are noticeably strengthened. There’s no better way to build your back. And on top of that, it’s a lot of fun.
— Michael Kujawa (Google Review)
Ideal for balance and technique in masters rowing
A very nice tool for optimizing your skiff skills and strengthening your inner core muscles. Especially for master rowers I would really recommend the FlowRow.
— Miguel Mendes de León (Google Review)
Perfect product and service – no sponsorship
The WaterRower is already perfect – but with the FlowRow Board the training stimulus is much higher and indoor rowing is a lot more fun. I can only recommend it to every rowing machine user. …and the service: perfect. And no, I’m not supported by FlowRow and have no business connection.
— Oli S. (Google Review)
High-quality and more dynamic training
The FlowRow Board is a great addition to a rowing machine. Training becomes much more demanding and interesting. The board is also very high-quality. I can recommend it to every passionate rower. Top invention – thank you!
— Christopher E. (Google Review)
Great installation and excellent start
Dear Andreas, the service from A to Z was excellent! Professional advice, fast delivery, and perfect on-site installation. The first training sessions on the new WaterRower have proven that you didn’t promise too much. We are very happy with our new roommate.
— Fam. Sobhani / Barbara (Google Review)
More fun with adjustable difficulty
I’ve been using the FlowRow Board for a few days with my LifeFitness HX Rower and I can already tell that indoor rowing is much more fun with it. Small tip: the different dampers can be perfectly combined to set the ideal level of difficulty. I can highly recommend these boards!!! And the service is excellent – very quick responses and dedicated support. I’m truly impressed.
— Andreas Lettow (Google Review)
Adds new dimension and challenge
Great product! Great support! I’ve been training with a WaterRower A1 and later upgraded with SmartRow for five years – first for rehab, later for daily training. I was looking for new challenges and came across this excellent device: the FlowRow. It’s pristine quality and adds a whole new dimension to indoor rowing. My stamina and core have improved greatly with FlowRow training.
A word of advice: I only ordered one resistance level (Moderate). It was quite tricky at the beginning to get used to this new way of training, but after a month of daily use, I realized I should have gone for the Upgrade Kit right away. I will now also get the Training and Training+ kits.
Thank you Andreas from FlowRow for a great product and excellent support. I’m surprised no one thought of this earlier – but I’m glad it’s here now. It’s a keeper.

Makes rowing more fun and engaging
I discovered FlowRow by chance and immediately felt it could take rowing to the next level. After excellent advice by email, I ordered the board for my FitEngine rowing machine – it fits just like the one for the WaterRower. Rowing is now so much more fun. Definitely worth a try – there’s a 14-day return option, but you won’t need it. I’m absolutely thrilled with both the product and the service!
— Paul Schmidt, Germany (Google Review)
Improves stability, mobility, and body awareness
I have been using FlowRow Boards for a year. It works like a proprioceptive board but is made for the WaterRower. Great! The results are fast: better pelvic stability, better hip articulation, better back mobility. I have benefited from it in both my running and yoga practice. A suggestion for a further challenge? Try rowing with your eyes closed, or in the dark. Training stability is essential for any kind of sport.
— Lorenzo De Carli, Switzerland (Google Review)
Surprising and totally new rowing experience
I came across the FlowRow Board by chance on the internet. Despite my initial scepticism about whether I could manage it at all, I bought it out of curiosity — and now I wouldn’t want to be without it. It’s a completely new rowing experience! Luckily, I purchased it directly from the FlowRow shop, which even allowed me to choose the firmness of the rubber mounts. And on top of that, Andreas provided excellent and friendly service for all my questions about the FlowRow Board. Five stars.
— Thorsten, Germany (Google Review)
Fun workouts even for non-rowers
The FlowRow Board and the app have been in use with us for several weeks now. My wife and I are not rowers — just to say that upfront. But we really enjoy the training; it’s fun, we feel great, and it’s doing us a lot of good. We think the workouts are really excellent.
— Philipp Schullan, Germany (Google Review)
Motivating app and joyful workouts
I can highly recommend Andreas and his products. With the FlowRow Board, the WaterRower is even more fun – it rocks so nicely and really challenges you to keep your balance. The training videos in the app are extremely motivating, and every workout is a real joy! Andreas, thank you so much for the joy you bring me again and again!
— Rudi, Germany (Google Review)
Wonderful support and premium quality

Stronger core after just one month
Before buying, I wasn’t sure how effective the FlowRow Board would be. After a month of intensive training with my Concept2, I’m convinced: excellent quality, outstanding support – and a much stronger core. Highly recommended!
