Croker Oars [1] is an Australian manufacturer of rowing oars that was started by Howard Croker OAM[2] in Sydney, Australia.[3] They are now manufactured on Oxley Island, Taree, on the banks of the lower Manning River, in New South Wales.[4] During the 1950s, Croker and his two brothers were students at Newington College[5] and their father was a rowing coach at the school. Howard Croker went on to be a successful rower in the 1960s, winning both State and National rowing titles.[6] Croker rowed for the then Haberfield Rowing Club at Dobroyd Point and was a coach in the years 1975 and 1976 at The Scots College.[7] Croker Oars currently produce sculling and sweep oars for the Australian and international market.[8] Croker also manufactures surf boat oars. Many elite rowers use Croker oars and together with Concept2 oars they make up the majority of oars used in international competition.[9]
