The SRD600 Foot Stretcher is equipped with a Virtual Pivot mechanism that allows the foot stretcher to rotate to keep the feet at the optimum power transmission angle as the rower’s posture changes. This improves rowing movement efficiency and gives the rower revolutionary ease of motion. A binding between the SRD600 Foot Stretcher and the SRD600 Rowing Shoes completes the system. With this system crew members can use their own shoes―gone is the necessity of sharing footwear. Further, the independent binding units on the right and left sides can be easily adjusted to change the stance. Another advantage of the SRD600 Foot Stretcher is that it can be adjusted for installation in almost any boat regardless of manufacturer or type.

During the Easter weekend the Amsterdam Skiffhead regatta took place on the river Amstel. This is a 7,5 km long race only for single scullers. Three of the rowers in this event competed using SRD. It turned out all of them were able to achieve excellent results.
During the Skiffhead racing weekend on the river Amstel, March 30 and 31, Shimano is on location with a Shimano Rowing Dynamics service and promo stand.
I started using the SRD system after the end of the 2011 season. So in the beginning I had a lot of experience in practice. The first impression was that the timing of the catch was a bit off, but I got a feeling of a much easier body reach in the beginning of the stroke.
I started using Shimano’s Rowing Dynamic Footstretcher (SRD) in 2011.
Due to different problems with my boat and more importantly because of the surgery I had on my back, I ended up using the conventional footstretcher for the Olympic Qualification Regatta in Bled 2011.
