Adventure Technology AT2 & AT5 Paddles | Rapid Magazine | Rapid Media

hey I'm Hastings bloomer with adventure

technology paddles here to talk about

our two new whitewater models g82 and 85

Goethe tues a blade that we've had in

our line for years it's one of the

original models and has been super super

popular what we've done this year is

separate the blade from the shaft this

used to be unibody construction blade

and shaft only and that had some

benefits but it also had some challenges

maintaining consistency and strength and

lightweight but also grip with only able

to control width from the center of the

paddle to achieve the desired length

anyway we've done away with that unibody

construction and what that allows us to

do is to get a much stronger and much

lighter paddle and also offer it in

straight shaft so for the first time

ever the 82 is available in a straight

shaft construction and a bent shaft our

patented ergonomic full control grip

bench Jeff construction both available

in just all carbon with 80s patented

thorough weave with a Negra shaft and we

have adderal we've layer in the blade

for an impact puncture resistant blade

to prevent cracks and elimination when

in use so we also have the 85 and a p5

is just a larger version of the 82

capitalizing on the success of the

Hercules in Geronimo we followed the

same path with this 25 centimeters

larger gives us a much more powerful

blade just more purchased in the water

so 80 to 85 the new hotness in 80 white

water for 20 17 18
