The Accent Advantage Hybrid Paddle offers us the advantages of its Advantage Grip and Custom LeverLock technologies. The elastomer grip guarantees proper hand placement on each paddle stroke with an ovalized shape that encourages lighter pressure, reduced tension, and increased power. The Leverlock lets us adjust the paddle to our optimal length. It's easy: we simply lift the lever on the grip, adjust the shaft to our preferred length, and then close the lever to lock it into place. The long, slender blade has a dihedral shape for efficient forward strokes.
