FS: New AT Xception bent-shaft carbon touring paddle 225cm in North Carolina
 

I have for sale one, brand new with tags, AT (Adventure Technology)
Xception two-piece, ergonomic, bent-shaft, touring paddle 225cm in
length with a feather angle of either 0 or 60 degrees left or right. I
purchased this paddle new about a year ago but I have never used it
since I have decided that I like my Greenland paddle better than the
Euro style. For those of you not familiar with this paddle, it is
absolutely one of the best lightweight touring paddles on the market
today! The reason for this is that it features a flexible, ergonomic,
bent shaft constructed from a combination of Aramid Fiber, S-glass, and
Carbon, with Full Control Grips that automatically place your wrists in
a natural position for far less strain and much greater control than
conventional paddles. Also, it features a super efficient,
soft-dihedral, spoon-blade, design that enhances stability and presents
a minimal profile to the wind. In addition, the blades are constructed
from a precisely machined foam core (provides the blades with both
flotation and lift at the end of the stroke) which is then laminated
with an ultra-light carbon fiber to protect them from bumps and
scrapes. Plus, with an overall weight of approximately 800 grams (28
oz.), it has a very light swing weight which allows you to use less
energy to maintain the same forward speed. This paddle normally retials
for $399 but I would like to sell this one for $299 plus shipping.

From the AT web site (www.atpaddle.com/TouringGateway.html):

"Real ergonomics from the undisputed leader in ergonomically advanced
paddles. Vastly improved control and natural wrist position are the
foundation of the AT experience. Try one, you will never go back".
"Truly a work of art. The Xception is the perfect balance of
efficiency, control and comfort. Experience for yourself why touring
gurus like Olaf Malver, Ed Gillet and Chris Cunningham use nothing
else". "The Xception is the best way to help your body paddle. Full
physiological integration ensures your paddle stroke uses the least
energy while maintaining control and comfort unavailable with
conventional paddles. See for yourself why people swear by the
Xception. Try one and you will never go back ". Paddle retails for is
$399.
