Full Review:
For a light and very durable performance creek boating paddle, AT killed it. This paddle blows my Werner powerhouse out of the water. I can’t wait to take this paddle down the Little White Salmon this winter. There is so much power in each stroke, it gives confidence when holding boof strokes or making tight creek moves. I have been using the 200cm and it fits me great. This paddle will give me the confidence and edge to push myself bigger this year.
"The Good" List: Lots of power in each stroke, little to no blade flutter when pulling hard strokes, and the stiff blades give confidence when taking boof strokes or bracing.
"The Not so Good List": I don't get paid until the 1st.
The Bottom Line: This will be a great creeking and race paddle this year. I cant wait to really push myself with this paddle.
