Sweep Manual
Courtesy of The Australian Surf Rowers League ASRL www.asrl.com.au
Bill "Woofa" Barnett has produced two sweeping manuals, and they are broken up into two parts each. He has allowed us to put these up on our site as a guide for the benefit of our sport and surfboat rowers in general.
Woofa asks for nothing in return except knowing that he has helped out some fellow boaties. Please feel free to use and pass on to others.
