So much so I did come back a day or two later for another

I used to row 8s too but our oars weren’t that fancy. Wooden handle with plastic blades.

I don’t believe he was referring to a kayak though. He mentioned his coxswain, which is a term from crew rowing. A boat of 8 or 4 will typically have one acting as an almost conductor and driver of the boat. Regardless, those oars are much heftier than a plastic kayak oar usually being made of wood and plastics but could definitely do some damage to someone’s head in the water.

Brand new Nissan Rogue’s chew through their oem tires in like 15k miles. I swear they’re coming out with bad alignments from the factory.
