Meet at the Club Locarno rowing shed, located at the East end of the Jericho compound (near the Windsure hut).
Your instructor will choose a class at which you will need to perform a self-rescue. (Don't be nervous... everyone can do it!), so, if you wish, bring a wetsuit for that one.
This Checkout is for fleet members with with at least Level 1 Privileges (i.e., Echo boats) who want to use the OarBoard.
The CheckOut is also a prerequisite for renting the OarBoard for off-site use. As such, you must show understanding and care when assembling and disassembling the OarBoard unit and mounting/dismounting it to/from the SUP.
If you are a new fleet member and only want to use the OarBoard, and no other rowing boats, you must demonstrate a successful Self-Rescue to pass the CheckOut.
You will be getting on the water and rowing briefly, so please dress appropriately.

If you do not pass the CheckOut, you may be asked to take an Beginner Lesson.
