Croker Oars
In the early 1960’s, Howard Croker began his apprenticeship in boat building. As Howard mastered the skills of his chosen trade, he recognized an untapped market for good quality crafted oars. An ex-school boy rower, Howard felt he knew how to design sleek curves and lines to make any vessel travel faster through the water. Upon completing his apprenticeship, Howard went with his instinct and established Croker Oars. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Investing many frustratingly long hours carrying out research and development into materials, tools, design and technology, Croker Oars began moving their oar expertise into carbon fibre. Launching their first carbon fibre oars in September 1990, Croker Oars soon proved themselves as a force to be recognized in the global market. Today Croker Oars make over 15,000 oars a year with a workforce of 25. A far cry from the “oar a day” of yesteryear. Over the season “REMO” plays host to numerous rowing camps where rowers can camp alongside the idyllic Manning river bank, hit the water before dawn and witness first hand a medal winning oar being made from start to finish at the Croker factory.
The Croker name can be seen charging through tunneling waves at every surf carnival as crews test their skill against the best at their sport. Never compromising on quality, a Croker oar will never be far from the hand of those who value durability and dependability and strive to go faster still. It’s an industry that Howard Croker has made his life, and seeing the success that his oars bring to others have made every second of it worthwhile.
