Offering midsize blades and a high-angle design, the Werner Cyprus paddle enhances your touring experience by emphasizing its versatility and stability.

High-quality, continuous-weave carbon fiber shaft delivers a superior strength-to-weight ratio
Stiff nature of carbon fiber enhances energy transfer and reduces swing weight
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
Carbon fiber/foam core blades create a distinct profile that enters and exits the water quietly while adding buoyancy for a light stroke
Blade design with ribless back allows for a smooth sculling stroke; asymmetrical dihedral shape delivers flutter-free power and reduces fatigue
Midsize blades are designed with power and bracing in mind yet are surprisingly easy to pull through the water
Remarkably light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions
Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry

Made in USA.

Comments about Werner Cyprus Carbon Paddle:

I got this through a local outfitter not quite 2 years ago. REI does not offer narrow shaft and shorter lengths which I can't understand because I see as many women paddlers as men and some are as short as I am. Some have told me that carbon paddles tend to be brittle, but this paddle has been through a lot and has received a lot of punishment and clashes with rocks, trunks and other objects I failed to avoid. Since getting the paddle I've paddled Gulf Bays, narrow Florida rivers, some with sharp turns, fast running rivers in Alberta and Wisconsin, class I and II rapids, shallow gravelly fast moving rivers, lakes with swells and waves -- the paddle has come through for me. Paddled upper Missouri river for 35 miles in one day and didn't suffer from paddle fatigue -- no shoulder, torso aches. The downside may be that carbon paddles conduct electricity and may be more hazardous in open water during a lightening storm. That said, I should carry a non carbon spare paddle, lightening storms being common in Florida. Have other shorter paddles for river running, but I much prefer this one. Werner has a shorter wide river paddle in a narrow shaft, but I would have to special order it from Werner directly and didn't have the cash, so I purchased a cheaper river paddle for my river kayak. I am not an advanced kayaker, but neither am I a casual/recreation --paddle on average more than once a week, 8-10 miles per paddle on average. And yes, I'd like to have that special order Werner river paddle one day.
