This was hands down the best venue I have ever been to for rowing. This is a world class race course for a reason.

The row up to the stakeboats was on a 1500m practice course. The stakeboats and race course are on the other side of a land bridge that the chase car drives on. The course itself is a 10 lane 2k, but I believe it could be increased to 12 lanes, as there was space for a return lane that was unused. The actual return lane is a canal that runs around the island to get back to the docks.

The conditions during my row were incredible. The course was built to reduce wake. Racing was delayed for a few hours for a thunderstorm, but about 10 minutes after the thunderstorm, the course was glass.

Overall, I loved this place. If I were ever given the chance to come back, I would take it. I would definitely recommend this place to any rower, as it is truly amazing.
