Slick Sculling Blade The Slick Sculling Blade can be assembled with a 40mm hook for S2 and S2 Soft shafts and a 50mm hook for S2 Stiff shafts, for those who want a heavier load at the catch. A smaller blade is available for women and schoolgirls who want slightly lighter load at the catch. Slick Blades are available on all shafts. The Slick Blade is the latest CAD CAM computer generated design that supersedes all other blade shapes. The Slick Blade is now available with closed edges, which improves the blades durability and overall performance. The Slick Blade has no ridgeline so there is less splash at the catch. The low volume blade enters the water quickly and quietly and floats low in the water. The longitudinal curvature is perpendicular to the tip and so is in line with the flow of water. It has a constant pitch across the tip and all lines parallel to the tip. The gentle asymmetric curvature of the blade assures a clean release from the water with every stroke. Slick Blades are visibly cleaner than other blades.The Slick Blade does not exhibit any negative tendencies during recovery or in bad weather. Since the Slick Blades introduction it has been extremely successful at all levels of rowing.

Macon Rowing Blades The Macon blades are the original blade design. This blade was first manufactured in timber. Although the Macon blade is not used in the racing world, recreational rowers prefer them and they are a good blade for learners. The Macon blade is available on all shafts upon request.

All Croker sculling oars are fitted with a copolymer interlocking injection moulded sleeve and button system. The sculling sleeves come in two parts: the sleeve body and the clip (back). The inboard measurements are calibrated on the back of the clip.The geometry of the sculling sleeve, if combined with rowlocks that have a 95-degree inside corner, provides excellent stability at the catch. The sculling clips can be replaced as required without removing the sleeve.

The Standard Surf Oar blade is designed with a prominent ridgeline and 100mm hook. These blades are similar in shape to their timber predecessors. This blade design has been around for the past 10 years, ample time to prove its durability and strength. The unpredictable nature of surfboat rowing places tremendous stress on the components of the oar. Those carbon composite blades have proven themselves up to the challenge.This blade is now available with closed edges, which improves the blades durability and overall performance.The Surf blade is standard issue on all oars and great for all level of rowers.

We have designed our surf handles with comfort and ease of use as our highest priority. We have standard timber and carbon handles available on all surf oars. Recently we have released two sizes in our carbon handle range. The carbon handles have been largely accepted since their release for numerous reasons; they are strong, stiff and thinner than the timber handle. The carbon handle is extremely easy to replace if broken or damaged. All carbon handles are fitted with a blue foam rubber, which contains an anti-bacterial agent that last for the life of the rubber. The sanitising process is effective against a large number of bacteria and fungi.

The standard timber handles have a 45mm diameter and come standard in all Croker Surf Oars. The timber handle is the only non-composite product still in the surf oar. The timber handle is glued in.

The standard carbon handle has been designed with a larger inside hand measurement of 45mm diameter and a smaller outside hand measurement of 42mm diameter. This has been designed for better control and ease of feathering the oar. The inside hand measurement is the same thickness as the standard timber handle. The carbon handles can be easily removed.

The small carbon handle has been designed with a smaller overall handle diameter. This handle is great for women and junior crews. For those with smaller hands this handle will help minimise forearm fatigue caused by using a larger handle.

We have designed our sculling handles with comfort and ease of use as our highest priority. Selecting a handle that is correct for you is necessary to achieve the best performance. A handle that is too small will cause trouble in the rough water and may turn in the rower’s hand uncontrollably. A handle that is too big will fatigue the rower’s forearms and also result in excessive wrist movement feathering the oar. All our sculling handles come fitted with our injection moulded thermoplastic grips. These second-generation grips have gained universal acceptance since their release and all include an anti-bacterial agent to stop the growth of bacteria and fungus. From the initial work that we have done, there seems to be a strong correlation between hand size (measured from the base of the thumb and the tip of the fingers) and preferred grip size. We have collected enough data so that we are now able to print a simple chart relating hand size to grip size for sculling and rowing. This will enable coaches to order the most suitable handles, particularly for school rowers.

The handles are available in three sizes small medium and large:

Small handle fit pink grip
Medium handle fit yellow grip and blue grip
Large handle fit grey grip and green grip

Sculling handles fitting guide:
Pink (small) 31mm outside diameter fits onto small handle
Yellow (Intermediate) 34mm outside diameter fits onto medium handle
Blue (standard) 35 mm outside diameter fits onto medium handle
Grey (large) 37mm outside diameter fits onto large handle
Dark grey (extra large) 39mm outside diameter fits onto large handle
