RIO FG 1 PIECE STRAIGHT SHAFT
The Spanish word for river creates excitement in boaters of any language.
The Rio offers an advanced river running blade design at an introductory price. Mid-size blades are so well balanced and easy to use that we highly recommend the Rio for all entrants into whitewater who demand good paddle performance.
Standard
For those that take a more casual approach to paddling, we still want you to experience the feel of a Werner Paddle on the water.
Blade Dihedral-Kayak
Dihedral blade shape was created to direct water to flow evenly off each side of the blade creating a smooth and stable stroke.
Fiberglass Reinforced - Injection Molded Nylon
The combination of fiberglass and nylon are impact and wear resistant at a lower price point.
Asymmetrical Blade Shape
Asymmetrical kayak blades are designed for a balanced forward stroke by reducing the flutter on each stroke.
River Running Blade
With a more pronounced tip and more surface area above the center of the blade, this design is optimized for a better forward stroke.
Whitewater Fiberglass - Straight
Built for the rigors of the whitewater environment, our fiberglass shafts have the highest level of strength.
Standard and Small Diameter Shaft
Available in Small or Standard diameter. Dial in your fit for better control, more comfort and less fatigue. Smaller built paddlers tend to like the feel of small shaft.
