Croker Oars is a manufacturer of Rowing oars. The business was started by Howard Croker in Sydney, Australia. Howard was an enthusiastic coach and for some years 1975-76 he coached at The Scots College in Sydney. Howard was also a successful rower in the 1960s, winning both State and National rowing titles. He rowed for the then Haberfield Rowing Club at Dobroyd Point in Sydney.

Croker Oars currently produce sculling and sweep oars for the Australian and international market. Croker also manufactures surf boat oars. Many elite rowers use Croker oars and together with Concept2 oars make up the majority of oars used in international competition.

The business continues to grow and the Croker family are now involved in the day-to-day running of the firm.
