I have a Werner paddle and couldn't be happier. I don't have to think about my paddle I just use it. I use it for surf and flat water. I have had it for several months and have given it a good work out in the surf with my 100Kg leaning on it and it shows no ill effects.

there's carbon paddles, then there's werner's. Its like chalk and cheese.

I'm chuffed.


There is a distributor for Werner paddles in Australia and New Zealand - nzkayakschool.com/sales-and-rentals/ Get in contact with them.

Are they any good for spanking.....

I'd love to see a close up pic of the T grip.

Sweetest paddle I've used so far. Whippy, powerfull yet still pulls super evenly through the water.

Thanks for the pic..I can't wait to check one out myself oneday.

FYI...There's a new Werner out..with a new ergo shaped T grip..I wonder what it's like?

Here's some more info....BTW..It's nice to see someone making a paddle over 86" long....Maybe I wasn't the only one to email them about this.

and...

What exciting things did Dan have for us this time? First of all, all all their paddles, they have a newly redesigned handle. In the name or comfort and blade control, the durable ABS handle is more contoured and fuller in the palm than the previous turned down T-grip. All Werner paddles are still super lightweight and feature an oval shaft and dihedral blade. But that's only half the news...


The big news it that Werner has released one of the first truly adjustable-length paddles. The paddle is adjustable near the handle by a two pin mechanism to prevent any accidental release while paddling or surfing. The design has also been developed in such a way that the shaft remains sealed regardless of the adjustment. This is a huge innovation that, in the past, has been one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the development of an adjustable paddle, and Werner has found a system that works.
