A Telescopic Oar with the World’s Longest Warranty — Finnish Innovation for Everyday Rowing
by Jukka Hakala28 October 20262 min read
Patented Aerot® oars bring adjustable length, modular repairability and long-term durability to recreational rowers. Päijän Boats is seeking dealers and distribution partners worldwide. Aerot® is a telescopic oar innovation from Finland, backed by a 10-year warranty — the longest warranty on the market for oars designed for traditional recreational rowing boats.
No other oar for traditional recreational rowing boats combines telescopic adjustment, an aluminium-composite structure and replaceable components. Aerot® suits different boats and rowers and comes with either a 17 mm or 1/2-inch oarlock pin. Designed for everyday rowing, exercise and leisure, it offers adjustable length, ergonomic handle options and low-maintenance materials—not a racing oar for professional crews.
Aerot® can be repaired component by component, extending its service life and reducing waste. It needs no varnishing, and its 120 cm package makes storage and transport easier, cutting logistics costs by more than 60% compared with traditional wooden oars. Customers can adjust it on the boat, so they need not know the exact oar length before buying. Dealers benefit from simpler stock management: one adjustable length fits almost all recreational rowing boats.
Its durability also suits rental fleets, where replaceable parts help keep oars in use. Now in its fourth development version after four years of user feedback, Aerot® has sold more than 3,000 pairs across earlier versions and is ready for international distribution.
“Our goal is to make rowing better for everyday people. We develop our products to make getting on the water safe, easy and responsible.” — Jukka Hakala, Sales and Marketing Director, Päijän Boats
