Another hazard that comes with rowing is also towards your equipment. Unsafe or inexperienced handling can lead to damaged rowing equipment, as well as cause injury to ourselves or other team members. All of this can be costly

Not to worry though! In this post we're covering the ins and outs of transporting your rowing oars on aeroplanes.
