Default FS: New AT Xception bent-shaft carbon touring paddle 225cm

I have for sale one brand new with tags AT (Adventure Technology)
Xception two-piece, ergonomic, bent-shaft, paddle 225cm in length with
a feather angle of either 0 or 60 degrees left or right. I purchased
this paddle new but have never used it since I have decided that I like
my Greenland paddle better. 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 retails
for $399 but I will 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 ".
