| Air stroke To take a stroke without the blade having been placed in the water, resulting in a complete lack of power. |
| Arms Away At the close of the drive phase, the arms move away from the body before the back comes out of the "layback" position. Helps ameliorate "check" on the boat by not shifting all the rower's body weight towards the stern too quickly. A.K.A. hands away. |
| “Inside Grip” A command used when lifting the boat. Grab the boat so that you can lift it over your head. Grab only the gunwale or hull structure - do not lift by the footstop assembly. |
| “Pick it / Picking” A rapid stroke where rowers use only their arms and use minimal pressure. An effective and impressive way to turn a boat when done right. |
| “Touch it / Touching” A stroke where rowers use only their arms and back. Used mostly for warm-up or to turn a boat. |
