A NAME YOU CAN COUNT ON
Little River has been building shells since 1977 with an
endorsement record that includes NASA, the Armed Forces, the Boy
Scouts of America, and Boating Industry's "Top 100
Products." We gained national recognition in Small Boat
Journal's "Sea Trials" by earning a Number One ranking
overall in the recreational doubles test. Little River is the
largest and most sought after line of shells today because our
unsurpassed reputation insures you a life-time of performance and
pleasure in each and every shell we build.
A ROWING SHELL YOU CAN GROW WITH
The foundation of Little River's success story began when brothers
William and Steve Larson forecasted the future of recreational rowing
by creating an entirely new concept: designing a full line of performance
craft built for recreational standards. Every aspect of the sport
from pure leisure to highly skilled rowing is accommodated in each
one of our models. We then go a step further and design a unique feature
into each unit: as one's rowing technique and ability improves, so
does the performance of the shell. Too many entry-level shells on
today's market reach their performance peak long before the rower,
and they soon become candidates for "trade-ins" or "dust
catchers." Little River's foremost goal is to offer each individual
rower a uniquely designed craft that will properly educate from day
one, while continuing to reward the rower's efforts for as long as
the sport is enjoyed: offering you the best of both worlds.
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES ARE STANDARD WITH LITTLE RIVER
Design features that normally come as extras with other manufacturers are standard on most Little River boats -- such as Carbon Fiber construction, allowing for lighter weight hulls and superior rigidity. One piece, non-skid, molded decks and interiors add beauty, strength and less maintenance.
State-of-the-art, lightweight aluminum rigging systems mount in seconds, and are as stiff as iron. Attached to the top of the shell, the wing rigger carries its own loads, thus requiring less structure inside the hull. Our design incorporates no bends because bends are weaker than welds and absorb energy meant to propel the shell forward.
Unique fold-in riggers on Heritage models provide easier docking and transporting.
Our exclusive Universal Pitch™ is the easiest oar lock adjustment system on the market, and the only 4-way fully adjustable system available on any recreational shell.
