How about a personalized rowing oar? You can get his name or a meaningful message engraved on it. Another idea could be a rowing machine that he can use year-round to improve his fitness and rowing skills. You can also consider getting him a subscription to a rowing magazine or a book on rowing techniques and strategies. If he enjoys watching rowing races, tickets to a local or national regatta would make a great gift as well.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
