Core Series Gravity 1-Piece Whitewater Paddle - RHC30°

Let me start by saying that I’ve been choosing a straight shaft over a bent due to experiencing wrist fatigue and even pain. Your paddle however, felt really nice right out of the box (literally). I like that it rests in a very balanced manner, I.e. I don’t have to muscle it into position nor do I feel resistance/ roll while transitioning between strokes, it’s just naturally there!! Strokes were effortless and powerful without being too much paddle. I was able to easily transition into and out of current. I felt zero fatigue in my hands and arms. Can’t wait to run it in bigger water!

Two months in and I’m still surprised how something so light maintaining such stiffness and doesn’t just snap.

The indexing is great, feels good, and my wrists and shoulders appreciate the ergonomics. Blades have handled rock contact well so far also, though there hasn’t been much.

My primary playboating paddle has been an AT with 30° offset which is the same as the Accent Gravity paddle so it has basically the same feel while paddling, however, two of the three of us immediately noticed that not only is the Accent Gravity wonderfully light, but also that it seems to have much more "purchase power" especially when rolling up. I would estimate that my rollups are 25% quicker and more powerful and therefore more dependable than with my AT paddle which I had used for 12 years until I got the Accent Gravity! While playboating on a wave this paddle is enjoyable to use because it's so light that it feels great & natural in my hands! So I would say in summary that the unexpected surprise from using your paddle was my roll up purchase power and speed. So in my case my roll up was always dependable 99.9% of the time, however, using your paddle made my roll up even more dependable and quicker which was a completely unexpected and pleasant surprise! Thanks again for the great paddle!!
