My name is Mario, we are located in the Los Angeles, California area. CC Rowing Slides were thought of, designed, and built out of necessity.
I had a Concept2 Model D rower and was interested in using Concept2 slides. Concept2 slides created a great row, and I fell in love with how they made my rowing mechanics smoother and gave me that “on the water feel.” Now I won’t use the erg without slides.
Concept2 slides are great, built like tanks, and will probably last longer than your rower. However, the real issue I had with the Concept2 sliders was space. The room I row in is very small, and the Concept2 slides barely fit in the space.
That is when the thought of having smaller slides came to mind. I didn’t need most of the material on my C2 slides, so I cut up my pair and started on an adventure in my machine shop. The smaller version of the slides that I made worked just as well.
After the cut-down version of the original slides, I started on the 1st of over 10 prototypes, which led to this current design.
The other necessity for developing CC Rowing slides was portability. The pair of slides weighs a total of 16.5 lbs. The design minimized the material so they weigh less and take up less space, while still being functional.
