Coxing

Question of the Day

Hi! Totally random, but my team just officially gave me a cox box to keep for the rest of my high school coxing career. I really want to personalize it but I don’t know how! Do you have any ideas on how to decorate a cox box?

Nice! Since I assume you have to give it back when you graduate, I wouldn’t do anything too permanent, like writing on it or attacking it with glitter and a Bedazzler. Your coaches might not appreciate you doing anything to it either, especially since they’re $500 (literally). The first thing that came to mind was getting some cross-stitch thread in your team colors (or your favorite colors, whichever you choose) and macramé-ing the strap (like this).

Other that that, I’d definitely get a sticker label and write in permanent marker your name, team name, and city/state on it in case it ever gets lost. I’d put this either on the back or the bottom of the cox box. Put a piece of packing tape over it to make it “waterproof”.
