Adventure Technology Xception Superlight Touring Sea Kayak Paddle - Weighing in at just 28 oz, the AT Xception Superlight Carbon kayaking paddle is the perfect blend of efficiency, control, and comfort. The foundation of the Xception kayak paddle is the patented Full Control Grip. Designed with sports physiologists, the shaft is bent on two planes to properly align your forearm and wrist bones, while the ergonomic grip area is perfectly shaped to fit your hands. You’ll have more power and control, with reduced wear and tear on your body. Asymmetric blades feature the perfect amount of spoon and curve for balanced, forgiving performance across all conditions and stroke types. Foam cores minimize flutter and add more energy in your strokes and braces, letting you paddle longer without tiring. Unibody construction weaves continuous carbon braids from the shaft to the tip of the blade, distributing flex evenly through the paddle, and lowering the swing weight for increase performance. AT's new Synapse Ferrule allows for quick and easy customizable settings. Adjust your feather angle quickly and easily without taking the shaft apart - just pull and twist! SmartSet technology automatically selects the previously-set feather angle during assembly, ideal for paddlers who rarely change their set-up. With unbeatable ergonomics and performance, the AT Xception Superlight kayak paddle is simply the best touring paddle made.
Sizing for AT Xception Carbon Superlight Touring Sea Kayak Paddle
A 230 cm paddle is the most popular length for paddlers who use a relaxed style of paddling and whose strokes are at a low angle in relation to the surface of the water. This style is very common and used during recreational outings and most touring environments. If you are under 6' or prefer a higher angle stroke, you might consider a 220 cm paddle.
Once again, AT has made a paddle impossible to beat for smooth responsiveness. The light swing weight makes stroking easy, and the subtle bent shaft eases wrist tension on all-day paddles.

Recently got the new all-carbon Xception SL Tour to complement my older style carbon/kevlar Xception Standard Tour. It is magnificent. All positive aspects listed apply here as well with a few notable exceptions. This paddle is light: 26oz on my digital scale. As light as the bent shaft Kalliste by Werner. Despite its weight it feels very solid, much more so than a few of the other ultra-light paddles out there. The edges especially are smooth, taper nicely, and are not too thin. Much more power. Again to compare it to the Kalliste (I assume its main competition) it is about 5% larger and has a shape that, I believe, provides greater flexibility in paddle angle. It is also a work of art. It's just a beautiful paddle. I've been using it heavily for over a month and I honestly can't think of anything I don't like about it. I do believe that there is a certain amount of subjectivity when it comes to bent shaft paddles. Everyone's stroke and grip is different. Different paddle brands' bends won't fit everyone the same. So make sure you try them all. AT's grip has the mildest bend of them all and for me, it's just right. Your results may vary. Also note that I've had outstanding customer service from AT.
