Re: [Paddlewise] AT Paddle

There is a picture of the new AT sea kayak paddle in the latest issue of 
Sea Kayaker. Their website is
www.atpaddle.com

I am a big fan of AT paddles. I have their whitewater paddle, and it
certainly is the best ever made from composites. I have used a prototype
sea kayak paddle briefly, and it was easily the best composite sea kayak
paddle I have ever used. However, I still prefer my $25 Greenland stick
any time I am on the sea. 

The ergonomics of their crankshaft is light years ahead of the other
cranks and double-torque paddles I have seen and used. The construction of
the paddle is as close to bomb-proof I have seen. It is worth the $375 in
my opinion, but be warned. Once you start using an AT paddle, you may not
be able to go back to anything else.

Cheers,
Kevin
