🚣‍♀️ Fancy trying something new?
Come and give Pilot Gig rowing a go with us at Par Bay Gig Club.

It’s a great way to get fit, get out on the water and be part of a team. You’ll learn the basics, build your strength and fitness, and most importantly, have a good time along the way.

You don’t need any rowing experience — just come along, give it a go and see if it’s for you. 🌊

Drop us a DM if you’re interested. ⚡️

OUR CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE! 🚣‍♀️🌊

We’re raising £15,000 for a new training gig for our team, Par Bay Gig Rowing Club.

We’re growing fast — especially our juniors and beginners — but we only have two boats.

A second gig means:
More people on the water
More opportunities for our juniors
More beginners welcomed
A stronger local community

This isn’t just a boat. It’s more people getting the chance to row. 🌊

🙏 Please donate or share our Crowdfunder. Every pound helps.

One boat. More people rowing. 🚣‍♀️

Important Update: Tomorrow’s Gig Rowing Performance Masterclass is moving online!

Due to a last-minute change in England team requirements, Neil Parsley and Dr Ishtiaq Rehman can no longer travel down to Cornwall to be with us in person. However, they are entirely committed to delivering this session, so we are shifting the entire masterclass to a live interactive Zoom webinar tomorrow, Wednesday 10 June at 7:00 PM.

The silver lining? Since we are now online, distance is no longer an issue! This is perfect for anyone who wanted to come but couldn’t make the journey down to St Austell.

How to Join Tomorrow (Wednesday at 7:00 PM):

Simply click the link just before 7pm tomorrow to log straight into the live session.
