A new way to ride the waves and Your own coach on the water
Meet the WinTech Racing WaveRider - a new way to ride the waves!
Lightweight, responsive and designed for the thrill of surfing waves, the WaveRider brings a fresh perspective to coastal rowing.
Combining the wave-riding design of a surf ski with the rowing experience of a single scull, the WaveRider C1X is built for experienced rowers seeking adventure on the open ocean. Weighing approximately 24 kg, it’s around 11 kg lighter than conventional 35 kg coastal rowing boats, with an optimised hull designed for manoeuvrability and performance in both flat water and offshore conditions.
Arrange a WaveRider demo trial starting in November through Aotearoa Boat Company, or come and see the boat’s debut on display at the Beach Sprints NZ Summer Series in Auckland on 31 October 2026.
Your own coach on the water - the future of rowing is here with XBoat
Train smarter, understand every stroke, and take control of your rowing performance with the XBoat Performance System.
For masters rowers who often train without a dedicated coach (or have the coaches in the crew!), knowing what’s really happening on the water can be a challenge. XBoat technology changes that, providing real-time performance data to help you understand your stroke, monitor your progress and identify areas for improvement.
By capturing key metrics such as power, force, oar angles and boat acceleration, XBoat turns each session into valuable feedback you can use to refine your technique and make every training session count.
Also offering a performance platform that monitors individual and crew performance metrics, discover how XBoat can help you row smarter, track your progress and get more from every session.
Find out more at XBoat.com or contact Aotearoa Boat Company to find out how you can bring this technology to your masters squad.
