I'm having technical trouble, so this will be brief:
How many of us avoid the rowing machine because we've used it in the past and it's been quite painful on the lower back?
What a shame it is to be missing out on one of THE best aerobic workouts available to you, recruiting muscles from the whole body and really challenging the cardiovascular system to deliver blood to all parts of the body.
Easily fixed though, it doesn't have to hurt, maintain neutral spine!

Did you notice how much work the lower back is doing in the second video? Did you notice too how the instructor says "remember your posture" then doesn't?
It may well be good technique on the water (I don't know, I'm not a rower), but in the gym, neutral spine every time!
