Paddle Construction
All Werner Performance and Premium blades
are carefully hand crafted using a pressure molding process of high quality
fiberglass or carbon weave materials and epoxy resin. Our pressure molding
process has proven superior to other processes in achieving the right
balance between light weight and durability.
Paddle Design
All Werner paddles have carefully designed features to offer the best
paddle performance at several price points. In addition to a long life,
our design features work together to offer all the benefits of reduced
fatigue and increased paddle performance.
Adjustable Ferrule System®
- Light weight, elegant, easy to use.
- Changes feather from left to right in 15 degree increments.
- You determine what feather works best for you.
|
|
 |
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.
|
|
 |
Straight Shaft
- Light weight and durable.
- Predictable, straight, and continuos grip area.
- Lightly loosen outer fingers to maintain natural wrist alignment.
|
|
 |
Neutral Bent Shaft
- Neutral alignment of shaft, grip, and blade create a stable
leverage point for all strokes.
- Naturally aligns wrists for less stress on your joints.
- Increased hand contact for better control.

Standard and Small Diameter Shaft
- Two shaft sizes for a good fit.
- A good fit allows a paddler to use a light grip.
- A light grip is more comfortable and reduces fatigue.
- Ask about our hand sizing chart.
|
|
Dihedral
- Reduces blade flutter by giving direction to the flow of water
off the blade.
- No flutter means your stroke is stable, for more comfort and
less fatigue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Asymmetrical Design
- Reduces torque for a smooth entry and exit.
- Less wrist and hand fatigue.
|
|
Foam Core Blade Designs
- Light and buoyant strokes
- Buoyancy enhances braces and roling.
- Stable in aerated water.
- Dynel™ edge adds durability.
|
Touring and Whitewater Paddle Cross Sections
|
|
|
|
|
Foam Cour Touring
- Light and buoyant.
- Dihedral creates smooth forward strokes.
- Ribless back for easy sculling and smooth strokes.
|
|
Low Angle Touring
- Strong dihedral reduces flutter for smooth stable forward strokes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whitewater and High Angle Touring
- Slight dihedral creates a profile good for smooth linking strokes
and a powerful catch.
|
|
Foam Core Whitewater
- Added stability and buoyancy in aerated water.
- No dihedral for ultimate power and maneuvering strokes.
