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

Comments about Werner Tybee Fiberglass Paddle:

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.
