> I wonder if any Paddlewiser has actually trialled these products in a >comparative sense in the environments for which they were designed, I have had a Lightning, and a number of other paddles, and now use an AT exclusively. I don't think you can compare them. The Lightning is a fine paddle but is fairly conventional. Both the blade shape and the shaft angles make the AT quite different from any conventional paddle. You must try it. I found that it takes no time at all to get used to the compound bends in the shaft. On the contrary, it is now the straight shaft that seems unnatural and hard to get used to.
