Who is this paddle suitable for?
The Werner Sherpa is a paddle that offers Premium Performance, which can give you the right combination of light weight, stiffness and durability. Swing weight equates to the effort it takes to move your paddle through out the stroke, and with Werner's Premium line it is not much. Stiffness is a key element in blade performance, allowing for more efficiency as the blade fixes less under the load of moving you and your boat. Choose between fiberglass or carbon construction. Carbon gives you the lightest swing weight option and matches the strength, impact and wear resistance of fiberglass with a stealth black carbon look. Fiberglass is a great compromise for those looking for a better value. You still get identical strength and impact and wear resistance. Also, a variety of bright color options with a handcrafted translucent look. Werner's shaft uses a carbon blend to combine light weight and strength. Werner also spend a lot of time testing flex. With each stroke you’ll feel just the perfect about of flex, making the paddle softer on your joints.
