The Alutech is a superb
paddle in the mid price range it costs £125.00 and is good value for that it has aluminium impregnated carbon blades which
deliver a lot of power and a glass two piece twist lock shaft the overall appearance of the paddle is quite stunning with
the silver aluminium blade and a deep gloss shine .
The deep rib which runs the full
length of the blade gives this blade a lot of strength and power on the stroke .
As you can see in the
picture the scooped profile of the blade means that on each stroke a lot of water
is moved but because of the quality of the blades little effort is needed .
The shaft lock and
set mechanism is very easy to use and the paddle can be set at different lengths to suit the individual paddlers by just sliding
the shafts apart then twisting the locking collar as can the feather also be set the same way underneath the locking collar
there is a marked gauge which makes setting the feather easy.
Over all this is a
great paddle which delivers all it promises good looks a lot of power and its light in the hand with a £125.00 price tag this
is great value for such a quality paddle .
