The Short and Snarky Coxswains have turned themselves into a very minor Internet rowing phenomenon over the past few years, bringing wit and humor to the sometimes-staid world of rowing through their @shortandsnarkyrowing social media. Between them, they have more than three collective decades of experience coaching rowing. The Erg Book is a follow up to their popular rowing book The Short and Snarky Guide to Coxing and Rowing, available on Amazon.
