The Padl. project started with a view to make the sport of rowing more accessible, given its physical and psychological benefits, but large number of barriers to entry. After talking with many rowers I was struck by how many told me their favourite part of the famously intense sport was how relaxing they found it, and so my aim shifted to focus on replicating this feeling of relaxation in an accessible indoor setting.
