Passion

For Peter and Dick Dreissigacker, rowing is a lifelong passion and engineering is a way of life. The Dreissigacker brothers continually analyze how oars propel boats; this process leads to questions, testing and design changes for the sake of improved efficiency.

Innovation

35 years of designing innovative products for rowing:

• 1977: Concept2 brought carbon oars to the rowing community, leading the movement away from the wooden oars of the day.
• 1992: Concept2's asymmetric Big Blade shocked the rowing world into changing the way it looked at blade design.
• 2004: Concept2 fine-tuned the hydrodynamics of the Big Blade, which resulted in the development of the Smoothie and Fat Blades.
• Today: Concept2 continues influencing blade shape as the Dreissigacker brothers build on their commitment to design and build the best racing oars in the world.
