What kind of exercise emulates rowing?

I need to exercise more but, its hard to exercise when you don't particularly like exercising. I go rafting and kayaking alot and I love to row. Rowing oars is really a whole body work out. What sort of exercises can emulate rowing?

The most similar thing to rowing would be the rowing machine shown here:

Most gyms have some type of rowing machine. If you're really serious about keeping in rowing condition on land, you can purchase one for youself, some are even fairly inexpensive:

Other exercises would be the dumbbell bent over row

Or you can try the seated cable row

Both will increase your pulling power and help you with rowing
