Low Angle Paddling The most common paddling style using a more casual cadence. The paddle is kept at a low angle relative to the water and a relaxed arching stroke is used. Smooth forward stroke reduces fatigue.
Adustable Ferrule Elegant, easy to use design. Low profile button looks and feels like a 1-piece paddle. Internal gear system for precise fit. Adjusts feather left or right in 15 degree increments. You determine what feather works best for you.
Straight Shaft Carbon More traditional feeling and generally less expensive. The lightest weight option available. Continuous length allows for easy hand movement.
Neutral Bent Shaft Carbon Neutral bent shafts naturally aligns wrists to reduce fatigue More hand to shaft contact for increased control Immediate comfort and reduced strain with lighter grip Extremely light weight with Werner durability Balanced for precise control and comfort
Standard and Small Diameter Shaft Two shaft sizes ensure you get a proper fit. A good fit allows you to use a light grip, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort and performance. Hands larger than 7” fit our Standard Shaft. Hands smaller than 6.5” fit our Small Shaft Hands between 6.5” and 7” - try both!
Light Swing Weight Swing weight is the weight you feel each time you lift your blade during a stroke. A light swing weight reduces fatigue and makes paddling more fun.
Correct Length Locate the closest combination of paddler height and boat width listed. Narrower boats or shorter paddlers subtract 5cm for high angle and 10cm for low angle.
