    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    • NOW PLAYING

    With its high-angle blade, fiberglass construction and lightweight design, the Werner Tybee is aggressive on the water but easy on the wallet.

    • Fiberglass shaft is lightweight and rugged; a slight amount of flex increases comfort and reduces strain
    • Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0° - 75° right or left in 15° increments
    • Improved ferrule design incorporates internal printing of offset degrees and a low-profile button release that makes paddle feel like 1 piece
    • Injection-molded blades are constructed with fiberglass-reinforced nylon, offering a lighter swing weight than plastic blades
    • High-angle blades with powerful catches feature a slight dihedral shape and excel at smooth linking strokes and advanced techniques
    • Asymmetrical blade shape helps reduce torque, allowing paddle to pull smoothly through the water and reducing the need to grip tightly
    • Light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions
    • Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry
    • Design is optimized for high-angle paddling style
    • 2-piece design breaks down quickly and eases transport and storage

    Made in USA.

      This a great light weight paddle. It has good settings, and unscrews to become 2 paddles. Good for storage too.

      Comments about Werner Tybee Paddle - Fiberglass:

      New for '09. Had used the nylon/carbon (black) Tybee model for a few years. Liked this as it is identical in everything but blade construction. This one DOES have the new Werner shaft (flush button).

      I have since changed over to a Corryvrecken (HUGE blade) as my primary paddle. This is on the back of my boat as a spare. Noticeably heavier than the carbon Tybee and way more heavy than my Corryvrecken. However, I find the Tybee shape to be better suited for smaller lakes and larger rivers. Ocean and Great Lakes are where I find the Corryvrecken to really shine.

      A trade off for the weight, is the near-indestructibility of the 'glass/nylon blades. While I have not had to use it due to the loss of a paddle (thank god!!!!), my yellow Tybee does get a lot of use at night (covered in reflective tape) and in areas that are really rocky or filled with stumps and other obstacles.

      In short, if you are a mid to high angle paddler, the nylon/'glass Tybee is a great backup or a great starter paddle at a great price.
