We offer a variety of grips so that athletes can choose materials and diameters that fit them best.
Replacement grips are available for purchase. For oars older than 2004 (on a fixed length or 10 cm length adjustable handle), please contact us for assistance.

Ice Blue and Azure Blue
- Diameters: 33.5 mm (Ice Blue), 36 mm (Azure Blue)
- Firm feel with longitudinal ribs
- Easy to clean
Black Rubber

Blue Cellular Foam

Note: We recommend our Microfiber Suede sweep grips over our Blue Cellular Foam grip, as many customers have confirmed our opinion that the grip and feel of the suede is better than the blue foam. Both the suede and blue foam feature a surface that is slightly absorbent, and both will wear out much faster than the very durable green rubber grips; however, the suede is easier and less costly to replace than the blue foam.
Bare Core
The bare core is meant to be rowed with a grip, but we offer this option for people who plan to use their own or another manufacturer’s grips on their sculls.
