>What is the general consensus on the new and expensive "crooked" (?) paddles? I am the very happy owner of an AT touring paddle. Give one a try and you may never go back, but they are about $400. Note that not all bends are the same. The AT bend is a 2 dimensional compound bend and I believe different than other similar looking paddles. Also, the blade shape is unique. This paddle is easy to get used to. In fact, after one or two outings a straight shaft feels unnatural. Don't buy without trying.
