Cushlon midsole combines with a Nike Zoom unit in the heel for an incredibly plush, resilient and responsive ride.

Environmentally preferred rubber in a Waffle outsole configuration provides multi-surface traction and a measure of added cushioning.

INSIDE SCOOP

Flywire: High tensile strength fibers sandwiched between a thin layer of TPU and a dynamic textile form and ultra-light yet ultra-strong composite upper.

UPPER

•    Built on the QMR-1 (Pegasus Fit) last for exceptional comfort and fit.
•    Large expanses of open mesh enhance comfort and breathability.
•    An ultra-light, yet ultra-strong Flywire panel along the lateral quarter works with a perfed synthetic panel along the medial side for great lockdown over the footbed and a snug, secure fit.
•    Reflective elements on toebox and heel help provide visibility in low-light conditions.
•    Molded EVA sockliner features Fitsole geometry to boost comfort and support.

MIDSOLE
•    Next-generation application of Nike Natural Motion Engineering principles—which includes support under the cuboid and along the first met-head—encourages a more naturally neutral, efficient stride.
•    Gender-specific crash pad is highly de-coupled and articulated to help absorb shock of impact and reduce both the range and rate of pronation before midstance.
•    Nike Cushlon midsole delivers plush, yet resilient, cushioning.
•    Nike Zoom unit in heel works with the midsole foam to deliver plus, yet highly resilient cushioning that feels great and lasts.
•    Arch bridge midfoot shank adds support under the medial arch, while also allowing a degree of torsional flex to unlock the foot’s natural stabilizing mechanisms and encourage a smooth, efficient stride.

OUTSOLE
•    Highly-abrasion-resistant BRS 1000 carbon rubber under the crash pad adds durability at a key wear zone.
•    Deep, gender-specific flex grooves improve flexibility and help deliver a smoother, more seamless transition from heel strike through toe-off.
•    Environmentally-preferred rubber in a Waffle outsole configuration provides exceptional multi-surface traction and durability, along with a measure of added cushioning.

When rowing (or exercising aerobically) you simply exercise at your desired intensity and you and your equipment moves at a speed proportional to the work you are producing. Increase your intensity and you move faster, the limit to how fast you can go is you, your physiology, the amount of work you can produce. And this will be different for all of us.

This is the naturally self paced aspect of rowing and aerobic exercise.

The WaterRower’s patented WaterFlywheel features naturally self regulating resistance. Rowing and naturally performed aerobic exercise (such as swimming, running, cycling, etc) are not resistance based exercises.

Rowing and naturally performed aerobic exercise relate to the work done to move you (and your equipment) through your medium. Whether it be a boat or swimmer through water or a runner or cyclist through the air. The only resistance which is present is due to the effect of drag acting on you and your equipment. And importantly, this drag is proportional to the speed at which you move through your medium.

For example, as you row, the work that you do overcomes the effect of drag acting on the boat, allowing the boat to move at a certain speed. As you increase work the amount of drag you can overcome increases and the boat moves faster.

Remember, the boat does not apply resistance to you, you apply work to the boat and it moves at a speed which is equal to the amount of drag you overcome. The limit to how fast you can row is you, your ability to produce work and overcome drag. And this will differ from individual to individual; young or old, big or small, male or female, fit or unfit.

This is the self regulating resistance nature of the WaterRower and naturally performed aerobic exercise.

Moreover, in order to pass the work of the upper and lower body between the footboard and the handle, the WaterRower recruits the muscles of the torso in equal proportions to the other major muscle groups of the legs and arms. Recruiting the muscles of the torso in such a way helps in the development of a strong core, strengthening the corset muscles of the torso and leading to the development of strong postural strength and overall posture.

Treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, etc. predominantly use the muscles of the legs and utilise the muscles of the torso very little (if at all).

The development of strong core and posture is essential to avoid of back injuries and is a key to rehabilitating many chronic back ailments.

Should I summarize the very essence of the understood messages during the event I’d say that the current professional practice solutions stress the attention to the perceptions Emulation of competitiveness activities and the Wellness. In order to

better explain the emulation concept let’s consider the rowing and the spinning categories.

“The usage of such a professional indoor paddler in a quiet environment makes it possible to ear the water noise like you were over a real river.” Explain me the Product Manager of an important solution manufacturer for the rowing training who I met at the event.

This is the statement of the Real Ryder indoor bicycles official distributor “This new solution allows you a push on the pedals much more natural. It really simulates what it happens over an outdoor bike. Real Ryder is a bicycle able to improve a lot the sensitiveness and the performances during your practice. ”

Concerning the Wellness we have the opportunity to meet the product mananger of an important brand focused in sport shoes insoles: a vibration absorbing elastomer made of cystalline micro-cells !

“The sportsmen who tried them do not want to go back anymore ! This special material is really able to decrease the impact schock so to reduce the negative energy that is transmitted by vibrations and will reach our nervous system causing permanent micro-traumas.” They explain us at the booth.

We’ll deepen each of the above tecno-sport news during the next articles we’ll issue soon !

About Allwave:

Since the 1999 the company focused itself just on the building if the Outrigger coming out with the first model called Rapa nui, the boat with which Allvave entered in such a sector.
In the 2001, after two years test and development, the project Tsunami came out, applying al the previous acquired experience in the catamaran field.

In 2002 on May Allwave made a new Tsunami splitted in two pieces so it could be sent by plane.

The story continue now… with new excting material and new canoes for Outrigger !
