I know I'm comin' in late on this one........but I learned on pins/clips, spent the first 12 years of my rowing experience on them, pops and g-pops LOVED them, it's all I knew.
When I finally bucked "family tradition" and went with locks (much shit-getting)....I could NEVER imagine going back.
BUT, I was quite used to putting the oar in the water and not having to worry about feathering....it was always "right". Soooooo....oar rights felt better for me when I started out on locks. And I'll almost always use oar rights when I'm on more challenging runs.......not that I'm concerned about strength or feathering or whatever....I just want to limit mistakes.
I do like without rights on easier trips/floats
Pearen's right......surfing without is a B$%$H!!!
