Echo Rowing Shells

The tidal waters surrounding the mouth of the Piscataqua River and the Isles of Shoals off Kittery, Maine provide a broad range of conditions even within a single day. A five mile row might begin on a placid creek, punch through a tide rip, surf on ocean swells then thread back through a shallow, rock-strewn rapids.

Developed and proven under Natures discipline in these varied conditions, the Echo rowing shells are exquisitely tuned for waters of any mood.

Echo designer Doug Martin, 65, is building on the experience of generations with profound creativity. He is the son of Arthur Martin, "father of recreational rowing".

Watch for Echo Rowing on an upcoming edition of H2OH! on America One Television Network!
