OarBusters - The Adaptive Sculling Program
At Delta Sculling Center, everyBODY rows. We have the equipment to adapt our boats to the needs of people who have physical, sensory or cognitive limitations.
The DSC OarBusters program is one of very few adaptive sports programs located in the Central Valley and is sanctioned and supported by USRowing. It serves people with brain injury physical disabilities, neurological and sensory challenges. It allows participants to improve health, be social, and to find new ways to be active.
While participants’ mobility may be limited in daily life, on the water they find freedom.
Many times sculling allows participants to rehabilitate after suffering extreme loss due to illness or injury. The center has numerous boats and land rowing machines that are customized to each individual’s needs. Numerous skilled volunteers help coach and ensure safety on the water.
Please join us and see what you CAN do. PTSD, TBI, MS, amputees, etc. - we can work with you.

Duke MacGill is well on his way to being part of Concept2's "Million Meter Club" in less than a year from starting our sport. Last Spring he was walking his dog up a slippery boat ramp, slipped and tore his rotator cuff. He just had a surgical repair less than six weeks ago and his left arm is in a sling, 24-7! Here's how he's continuing to erg, not using his arms, just pushing with his legs (one a prosthesis, mind you) and swinging his trunk! I know plenty of folks rowing for a good long while who can't achieve a 2:47 split even using four intact extremities! P.S. That's Duke in the blue shirt in the right hand photo above!
