Werner Skagit Small-Shaft Paddle
The small-shaft Skagit paddle from Werner offers beginning and recreational paddlers excellent value and performance.
- Small diameter paddle shaft lessens fatigue and improves comfort for paddlers with small hands
- Carbon and fiberglass shaft feels comfortable to the touch; durable construction stands up to long hours on the water
- Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0° - 60° 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
- Asymmetrical blade shape helps reduce torque, allowing paddle to pull smoothly through the water and reducing the need to grip tightly
- Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry

Small is great! Super paddle.
I'm 5'3, 100# and have an 8' sit on top that's 29" wide. I was told I needed a 190cm paddle, which didn't work so I purchased a 230cm Skagit, (which now appears to be the last SMALL SHAFT Werner in the country.). It totally rocks. Much easier on my small hands and appears to be a lot lighter weight. Perhaps my endurance is building up, but I'm able to keep up with my friends and able to paddle longer. PS, I'm 76!
Great Paddle for Small Hands
I am using this with an inflatable kayak. It is light and comfortable. The variety of feathering options is nice and I have found myself changing the feathering just to change my paddling movements if I go out for a longer period of time. The smaller shaft does make a difference; it is a great option.
Great kayak paddle
Kayak paddle is not only great but the smaller size shaft fits my medium sized hand. Staff was especially helpful in instructing me how to use the small sized paddle blade. It also resists salt and is light weight. Highly recommended.
