It usually takes a little time adjusting from a straight shaft to a bent shaft paddle. However, The H20's bends are very user friendly. I used an AT crank shaft and it felt very odd. The H20 felt very natural to me and I felt very comfortable with it straight away. There still is a little getting used to but it happens pretty easy.

Also, a crank shaft will be better in the long run. It means you paddle in a more natural position. This places less stress on your wrists, arms and shoulders. Your body will thank you for it!

Besides, if you get the crank shaft version, there's always the added benefit of going \"one up\" on your brother :dance:
