CREATING THE BEST DRIFT BOAT AND RAFTING OAR SETUP FOR YOU

The SGG™ oar features an indexed grip that provides greater blade orientation while on the river, and a counterbalance option to aid against rower fatigue. For quieter and smoother rowing, you can add a rope wrap to each shaft. Wrapping your oars provide added protection and a better fit in the oar locks, which prevents extra movement and banging in the oar locks. In addition, with several different colors and lengths to choose from the SGGs are certainly the best drift boat oars or rafting oars to fit your needs and style.
