NEW Straight Shaft Options – Touring C Series

NEW injected molded blades - Touring G Series & Touring C Series
AT utilizes the latest technology to verify that each blade design is perfectly balanced to eliminate flutter and maximize efficiency. AT has developed three new injected-molded blade styles: Pursuit, Search, and Paddlewan. Each new blade design has been tested and approved by the pros.  

The attractive price points of the injected molded blade models create the opportunity for retailers to meet the demands of entry-level paddlers or price conscious consumers who are looking for performance at a value. Available March 2012.
