The Werner Shuna carbon-shaft kayak paddle is a popular choice for aggressive high-angle paddlers as well as paddlers with a more relaxed high-angle touring style.

Mid-size blades are designed with power and bracing in mind, yet are surprisingly easy to pull through the water during extended trips
High-quality, continuous-weave carbon fiber shaft delivers a superior strength-to-weight ratio
Stiff nature of carbon fiber enhances energy transfer and lightens swing weight
Smart View Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0° - 75° right or left in 15° increments
Improved ferrule design eliminates external stickers by incorporating a small window which displays an internal printing of offset degrees
Low-profile button release makes paddle feel like 1 piece
A pronounced dihedral power face reduces flutter to create exceptionally smooth, yet powerful, forward stroke
Asymmetrical shape reduces torque, allowing the paddle to pull smoothly through the water without the need for a tight grip
Remarkably light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions
Beautifully crafted translucent blades glow brilliantly on the water and increase your visibility
Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry
2-piece design breaks down quickly and eases transport and storage
The Werner Shuna kayak paddle is carefully handcrafted in Sultan, Washington, using a pressure molding process to achieve the right balance between weight and durability

Made in USA.

Comments about Werner Shuna Kayak Paddle - Carbon Shaft:

This is a great paddle. I have this and Coryvrecken which has much larger blades. These are not whitewater paddles so take any review written by folks using these in classified rapids with a grain of salt. Lightweight so easy to keep paddling all day. I'm a big fit guy and can flex other paddles very easily. I prefer the stiffness of Werner paddles with carbon shafts. Blades slip in water easily and generate a good pull. Check Werner's website before buying this paddle is made for high angle stroke.

If you want high performance spend the money and buy this paddle. If you paddle often you won't be disappointed

Comments about Werner Shuna Kayak Paddle - Carbon Shaft:

I purchased this paddle expecting to upgrade leaps and bounds from my classic plastic NRS paddle. I loved how light it was and the great design. However, I was surfing a class II hole this morning in my XP10 and as I often do, capsized. As I attempted to set up for my roll, the paddle somehow caught the current, smashed a rock and the carbon shaft snapped where I was holding it snapped. I rarely write negative reviews, and have heard only outstanding things about Werner paddles. I am going to touch base with Werner and ask their opinion on the situation. Was it a manufacturing problem? A weak point in the carbon fiber material? Or could it have been just the perfect amount of force at the right angle that just snapped it?

I am sad to say that I have had this paddle for less than a week and it has displayed many signs of weakness. The blade becomes VERY EASILY marked/chipped/damaged when it comes in contact with any hard abrasive surface.

Don't buy this paddle. I hear Werner is a great company and I will buy a dif paddle in hopes of finding the right fit for me.
