I thought that I liked my other paddle (carbon bent shaft non foam core) until using the AT2 Flexi. I could not believe how natural and comforting the grips felt. The blades were very smooth, and easy to get used too. The feel of the flexi shaft is awesome. The only drawback is that you have to get a 196, and a 197 is a special order. A 197 is perfect for me.
I paddled with another brand for 13 years. This year I switched to an AT2 Flexi to help with my elbow tendonitis. The flexible shaft has made a difference, but the paddle has more to offer. It paddles smooth, has a lot of power, and the grip feels great!

This is my favorite paddle for playboating and all around river running. It has been strong enough to hold up to 2 years of my abuse on the river and is still just as strong. The best part about this paddle is the flex. This was my paddle of choice while rehabbing a hurt shoulder and still is because of its ease on my shoulders. The flex is enough to give my joints a break, but not too much to ensure strong and powerful strokes. If playboating is your focus like mine, you will appreciate this paddle for its strength and flex.

This paddle is well worth the investment. I’ve paddled it for 5 years now and it’s still going strong. I think there’s something to say about the flex. Having a paddle that gives a little bit seems to go a long way on saving your joints. I definitely have less tweaked shoulders and elbows, especially on long days of hard river running or sessions at the play park. It always resurfaces nicely too!
The AT2 Flexi is a softer, more flexible version of the AT2 SL and Standard. An excellent choice for people who love the flex ofa wood shaft paddle, the AT2 Flexi feels more like a wood paddle than any other composite paddle. Built with the same dimensions and RTM manufacturing process as the AT 2 Standard. This shaft is built with a superior grade of S-Glass and Carbon Fiber materials, allowing it to retain a weight of 38 ounces without sacrificing strength. This paddle is going to be a bit more forgiving on your joints!!
