0Hi everyone,
This summer, Amsterdam belongs to two things close to the heart of everyone on this forum: Pride and rowing. From 25 July to 8 August the city hosts WorldPride Amsterdam, with the world-famous Canal Parade sailing through the canals on Saturday 1 August. And from 24 to 30 August, the World Rowing Championships come to the Bosbaan. If you're travelling here for either one — or both — we'd love to put you on the water yourself.
We're TopRow, a rowing centre right on the Amstel, about fifteen minutes from the centre of town. Inclusion isn't a slogan for us — it's part of the sport here. TopRow has sailed in the Canal Parade several times, and the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation was the first sports federation in the country to sail in Pride under its own flag — a public statement that rowing is a sport for everyone. This community is exactly who we had in mind when we built Experience Amsterdam.
Because it's such a special summer, we're offering Experience Amsterdam the whole month of August. You don't have to worry about a thing: your instructor steers the boat and tells you the story of the city while you row, and every trip finishes with a drink on our terrace on the Amstel.
Three ways to do it:
City Tour by Oar — for experienced rowers. A long, beautiful row through the canal ring, under the Magere Brug (the Skinny Bridge), past the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and more of the city's landmarks. Discover Amsterdam — for anyone who has never held an oar. Thirty minutes of instruction on shore, then a guided row on the Amstel past the Rijksmuseum and the Heineken building. No experience needed at all. A bit of both — travelling with a partner who doesn't row? We'll mix it, so the two of you get out on the water together and still see Amsterdam in a way a canal cruise can never match — because you're the one in the boat. Sessions run Monday to Friday at 13:00 and 15:00, in English, age 15 and up, from €62.25 per person.
There's no better way to remember a Pride or a World Championships than from the seat of a boat, on the same water the city grew up around.
All the details and booking are on our site: amsterdam.toprow.com. Come row with us — we'd love to see you out here.

GLRF will host a booth at the 2019 Head of the Charles Regatta
Stop by and say hello. See all of our amazing GLRF t-shirts and neon tanks, and snag a pair of our polarized rower shades. Inclement weather? Check out our rain/sun (yes UV coating) GLRF umbrella with vents to withstand the strongest wind!
At the booth, you will be able to sign The Rower's Pledge, our global campaign to promote inclusion and acceptance [beyond tolerance] of gay and lesbian rowers, coxies, coaches, and race/regatta officials in the broader rowing community. Our collective voices can fundamentally transform rowing from wihtin, and for the better.

Additional GLRF promotion at the Head of the Charles:
This year, GLRF will be featured at the JL Racing tent “vip table” that they get for their big footprint. They use the table in front of their tent for National Team rower autographs, book signings, and other promotional events. Joline, the owner of JL Racing, contacted us in September and said she would like to help us with the Rower’s Pledge, our global initiative to promote inclusion and acceptance in the broader rowing community.
If anyone has time to help at the VIP table at the JL Racing tent, we could really use some supporters and ardent believers. We will have a tablet that people can use to sign the pledge on the spot, and if they do, they will get a special JL Racing rainbow shirt at a discounted price.
Your assistance would be explaining the potential of the pledge, giving out stickers, and helping people to sign the pledge which they can also do their smartphone or our tablet. Anyone helping out gets a free Rower's Pledge t-shirt!
Here are the times:
Friday, October 18th: 10 am – 12:30 pm
Saturday, October 19th: 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
