Werner Powerhouse Carbon Bent Shaft

The Werner Powerhouse Carbon Bent Shaft Paddle is a high-performance tool designed for advanced kayakers who demand exceptional power, precision, and control in whitewater environments. Engineered for those tackling challenging rapids and big water, this paddle combines innovative materials and ergonomic design to deliver unparalleled efficiency and comfort.

Key Features:

1. Full Carbon Construction
   The paddle blades and shaft are crafted entirely from high-quality carbon fiber, making the Werner Powerhouse both lightweight and incredibly strong. The carbon construction ensures optimal stiffness, allowing for powerful strokes without energy loss and improved durability to withstand the rigors of whitewater paddling.

2. Bent Shaft Design
   The bent shaft aligns the paddler’s wrists in a more natural, ergonomic position, reducing strain and increasing comfort during extended sessions. This design minimizes the risk of repetitive stress injuries, making it an excellent choice for kayakers engaging in long runs or frequent paddling.

3. Large Blade Surface
   Featuring oversized blades, the Powerhouse is tailored for paddlers who require maximum propulsion with each stroke. The blades’ large surface area ensures exceptional power delivery, making it ideal for driving through strong currents, executing precise maneuvers, and maintaining control in turbulent water.

4. Dihedral Blade Shape
   Werner’s signature dihedral shape reduces flutter during strokes, ensuring smooth and consistent paddling. This design enhances efficiency by guiding water evenly over the blade surface, allowing paddlers to focus on technique and navigation rather than blade control.

5. Asymmetrical Blade Design
   The asymmetrical profile of the blades provides balanced power distribution and reduces torque, ensuring a comfortable paddling experience. This design also improves the blade’s entry and exit from the water, making each stroke clean and efficient.

6. Optimized for Whitewater Use
   The Werner Powerhouse is specifically designed for demanding whitewater conditions, including steep creeks, big rivers, and technical rapids. Its robust construction and precise performance capabilities give paddlers the confidence to tackle aggressive and unpredictable waters.

7. Adjustable Feather Angle
   The paddle allows for customizable feather angles, enabling paddlers to find their preferred blade offset for optimal performance and reduced wind resistance during strokes.

8. Available Sizes
   The Powerhouse is available in a range of lengths to accommodate various paddler heights and boat widths, ensuring a tailored fit for maximum comfort and efficiency.

9. Superior Finish
   The paddle’s smooth carbon finish not only enhances its sleek aesthetic but also ensures excellent grip and durability in wet conditions.
