Jeff, I bought a Werner Camano all carbonfiber paddle a few months ago. VERY NICE!!! They are very expensive but the light weight make a big difference in reducing arm fatigue on long paddles. My typical paddle is 20 to 30 miles on the open ocean. I had used wood paddles before which I loved the looks of but I am now a believer in carbonfiber. Also depending on where you are paddling and the distance you are going I would highly recommend you carry a spare paddle. I have broken two paddles in the last year. Lucky for me I was very close to shore but it could have been very ugly if it had happened off shore. I would recommend you talk to dealers about the AT Xception and find out their thoughts as well. Find out if they have ever had them returned because of problems and how good is the warranty service. Hope this helps, Vinny No financial interest in Werner. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
